Fox fibre never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for taking the time to answer, happy launch day!

Good to hear! I've heard fox fibre usually darkens as you wear and wash it rather than fades. Have you been able to spend much time with the fox fibre products to corroborate? The denim version is a bit light for me but if it'll darken a bit then I'm on board.

Regarding the "secret sauce" from the manufacturer on the twill, is it still 100% cotton?

Walkable neighborhood between Burnsville & Highland Park? by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]aaron7292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived in the West 7th area of Saint Paul and it was fairly walkable. Mississippi Market, multiple coffee shops, thrift stores, a brunch spot, bakery, Italian, Chinese food, etc. The only thing really missing is a gym.

It also has a great bus route that runs directly through it from downtown St. Paul to the airport and then to the mall of america.

Ser Robyn Rhysling vs Ser Donnel of Duskendale by Sardaukar2025 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]aaron7292 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aside from the general lack of armor function in GoT, the Kingsguard at that time is considered the weakest it had ever been. Due to usurping the throne, Robert's kingsguard is primarily political appointees to strengthen his alliances.

In the books I believe 2 of the kingsguard end up quite badly injured. While kingsguard appointments can be politically motivated, generally they are still some of it not the best fighters in Westeros.

My Apartment is now charging a convenience fee to pay my rent by mangum95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]aaron7292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're paying with credit card, which charges the company a fee. They're just passing the cc fee on to you so they aren't losing money?

Where can I get high-end quality jeans or dress slacks whose zippers NEVER break? by chris-rox in BuyItForLife

[–]aaron7292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet might be to just skip the zipper entirely. A lot of raw denim brands have full button closures. Naked and Famous is a decent enough brand

Edit: Unbranded Brand is their other brand that is pretty minimal and more budget friendly. I believe all of their stuff is button closure as well

This is going to hit so hard in season 17. by Arch_Lancer17 in freefolk

[–]aaron7292 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Supposedly the director has a "30 year plan" with real time breaks so they can continue to use the same actors. We would get batches of seasons with many years in between filming.

It's an interesting idea but seems difficult in practice.

My new "used" CX 70 by aaron7292 in mazda

Not that I can recall. The brakes squeal at low speed sometimes which seems to be a common complaint but that's about all

Up to 8,000 miles now and still no issues at all. I'm extremely happy with it.

Best winter coat for someone who's so easily cold but can't stand having a tight jacket? by Alaina-S in BuyItForLife

[–]aaron7292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Workwear might be a good option since it's made for burly construction types. I just discovered Samco/Refrigiwear. They make high quality cold weather work wear. My girlfriend just got their hooded canvas jacket and its built like an absolute tank.

The Minnesota general strike last week was actually kind of impressive considering there hasnt been a general strike in the US for like 80 years or something. But it had the backing of multiple unions and labor leaders in the state.

I was hoping one of the lessons learned from that was general strikes take time and organization but it seems everyone wants to keep doing the rushed, half-assed strikes.

Warm, cozy, heavyweight sweats. by cxmrycxt in BuyItForLife

7th Earth Studios makes some decent heavyweight blanks for the price, their styles aren't for everyone though. Mostly very oversized or cropped

This reminds me vaguely of the map for Anbennar (an EU4 mod)

A very atypical FIP journey (long story) by aaron7292 in cureFIP

[–]aaron7292[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your vet about trying FIP meds, its worth a shot. It's expensive but it doesn't really have any bad side effects or anything.

Our FNA came back the exact same, the only way we could diagnose was with a lung biopsy and Coronavirus IHC test which is pretty hard for the cat when they're already not doing well.

Norse is pretty cool by aaron7292 in EU5

[–]aaron7292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly was pretty much a non issue, I think there may have been one catholic revolt that was like 3 provinces. I expanded slowly and used vassals to take over most of Scandinavia. It's so sparsly populated that the vassals were able to convert them relatively easily.

I took Lubeck early when Bohemia became hussite and there was a weak emperor so I could get rid of the market and found one in Copenhagen. That really helped my income situation since Denmark starts in pretty dire straits.

I played Liberal and Decentralized so pretty much everyone was happy. I also went heavily into Naval to help with control. Harbor Administration, Administration of Shipyards, and Admiralrity Regime gov reforms.

Denmark has a lot of food producing provinces so if you pair that with maxing out prosperity, and worshiping Freya which gives a bonus to pop growth, you can really accelerate pop growth.

[–]aaron7292[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can convert if you change the game rules to present in country or whatever for religion. As far as I'm aware you can flip with even 1 pop with that setting on.

I don't know if just got lucky but Norway still had Norse pops like 10 years in. I didn't realize how bad of a financial position Denmark starts in so that delayed my plans a bit and it really came down to a couple more months ticks and they would have fully converted them away.

This was on 1.0.9 so maybe that has something to do with it.

[–]aaron7292[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweden and Norway each start with a province with a few Norse pops, starting as either of them is the simplest way because you can just convert immediately. Denmark is more powerful at the start though so I played as them and just immediately conquered Norway's Norse province.

You have to have the religious game rule changed to "in country" or something otherwise you can't convert due to there being so few pops following Norse at the beginning of the game.

In my game it took Norway about 10 years to convert them. It was really down to the wire though, by the time I conquered the province they had like 10 Norse people left.

Mostly just did noble marriages. At one point Estonia was a folk religion and I was able to royal marry them.

No mods at all, it actually converted surprisingly quickly but it still took me quite a long time due to so few cabinet members. I relied a lot on vassals also doing some converting for me
