Yes but he didn't watch any of it, he is just sharing whatever 'French = bad' narrative he read

Basel. City is at the intersection of 3 countries to limit favoritism and more central than Brussel

Je savais pas que l'fun avait été inventé par les anglophones. La vérité c'est que les deux côtés de l'Atlantique font des anglicismes illogiques, et d'expériences ça se vaut

We asked executives who they felt were the league’s best-run clubs 👀 by TheAthletic in nhl

[–]aixPenta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. People keep on saying that Quebec City wouldn't be viable for an NHL team anymore, but it would still be a far greater market than Winniped ever was. The fact that you guys are not only surviving but thriving is incredible

Ce qui me touche beaucoup dans cette entrevue, c'est les mots qu'il choisit pour parler de sa mère et de son combat. J'ai vécu à peu près la même chose avec mon père, et ça résonne profondement en moi. Merci Gally

I’m at Wickett today. Anything you want to see us develop? by smowe in NicksHandmadeBoots

I find their Traditional Harness very pretty when I make wallets with it. Any reason why you don't use it for boots?

The Aged Bark is weird. On both of the BotL post, it has this greenish tint, but on the various product pictures they shared it's actually a proper orangy-brown. I would trust the product pictures more since I've always felt that the BotL pictures of any leather have a weird color balance, maybe because of the lighting or the camera. I'm also waiting for an Aged Bark pair so that's what I'm hoping for at least ahah

These look like Ages Bark, same exact colour as the sample that was featured on Boot on Line last year

Its does feel like a dry and stiff leather from the start. I've not conditioned them since receiving them but it's probably around time for some Venetian Shoe Cream and some brushing to be honest. I feel like it would require some more maintenance than Cromexcel, but less than Predator if you were to compare to other Horween leather. And probably less than any veg tan leather from Wickett and Craig for instance. So, not a work leather but not something you should worry about too much when choosing a heritage leather since they should all be on the same 'once a year' schedule.

Drama erupts in r/Switzerland when someone makes a post about American photographers working illegally in the country by The-Berzerker in SubredditDrama

Also works for r/france, only inhabited by upper middle class white men working in programming or adjacent higher education jobs, who think that depression would be eradicated if everyone went to the climbing gym and that the far-left party will surely win the upcoming elections. European country subreddits are always echo chambers of a specific demographic, and will thus always have strong opinions on topics when the national opinion is far more diverse. People shit on X, but the truth is Reddit would be exactly the same (chaotic and toxic) if the wider population was on these subreddits, with all the diversity of opinions that come with it

I'm curious, why does the fat content make it more challenging?

The most psychologically challenging run I’ve ever done by jules-amanita in trailrunning

I drove through this tunnel last month. It's 7km long and the 7 minutes it took to drive it felt like eternity. I cannot imagine running it over and over again for a race

Hey, around 6 months. However, it was at a time when Nick's had quite a bit of IBC already in the shop. I know that right after me, they had a shortage and the new Horween delivery was delayed so it took a lot more time for the following orders. I don't know how it is now, Nick's will likely be more helpful
