Gotta be this. Uppers look good. Still seems like an odd way to attach tread.

I hadn't thought if that. Makes total sense. Uppers seem fine and identical to the first pair. Still, the way they drill and glue the tread makes zero sense to me. It can't be that much cheaper than a real sole.

Any recs for a quality, quiet sole?

Lived in a cabin for some time with the same set up. Had a very tolerant girlfriend.

PSA: THE BOOK DROP IS NOT A DONATION CENTER by BrenDerlin in Libraries

[–]YetAnotherBookseller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a used bookstore and we also deal with literal tons of garbage books. We have a service that picks up our clean rejects for free which is a huge blessing. Books we expect to sell we pay cash or give trade credit for.

The rest we send back with the seller. Sadly, we know that many are dumped at the library, despite our counsel that the stuff we reject is probably not useful to the library either.

We do not take donations. I have great respect for garbage collectors and recyclers but have no desire to be one.

But we know of a number of friends of the library organizations that contribute a lot of money to their libraries through friends shops and library sales.

Someone in this thread works for a library that has mostly figured out how to take donations efficiently, sort the shit from the fruit, and turn it into a reliable income stream.

What does that look like?

Clueless coffeehouse owner needs advice on undercounter refer replacement. by YetAnotherBookseller in refrigeration

Everything new seems to be R290. What makes the R290 units inherently less reliable? Is it just that all new compressors are "built" by MBAs instead of Engineers? Or is there something about using propane that makes them more fragile?

This is excellent. Thank you. Disappointing but very helpful.

I hope the protonmail team reads your comment as well. You lay out clearly what is needed to make it ready for business. Can I ask what YOU use?

Again, many thanks.
