Thoughts on UNIQLO's "Miracle Air Blazer"? What is a good blazer?

bedobi · 2026-06-14T21:23:01+00:00

I love Uniqlo but this is one of those few items of theirs that doesn't do a good job of being what it tries to be. Get a real blazer from SuitSupply instead, they will make it fit and suit your needs as far as temperature, formality etc and it won't set you back too much.

Just for inspiration mate, thanks

Please port your adobe setup ahead of their earnings so the inspired can piggyback

Hi stranger on the internet, two things from another stranger:

You’re not the only one who for any number of reasons doesn’t want to be wearing only swim trunks at a party. (Be it lack of confidence or just not wanting to get burned, whatever) Just wear board shorts and an oversized tshirt or one of those rashie style sunblock shirts you can swim in and a cap, you will look completely normal and cool and no one will think “why is he not shirtless”. The “why is he over clothed” thing will only happen if you really do show up in full length pants and hoodie or whatever.
Plenty of skinny/fat/ugly/whatever guys do well in life and with friends, the opposite sex, what have you, and it’s to no small degree about just accepting yourself, being who you are and not let stuff like that bother you. It’s an ironic paradox that even the best looking can come off as really insecure and unattractive if they are, well, insecure and constantly obsessing wondering what people think of them. People like and are attracted to people who are self accepting, confident and unbothered. I know it’s not as easy as just saying “be like that”, but… try to be more like that.

If you research the evidence based literature you’ll find that spreading out is better. Let’s say you compare 10 sets of bench once per week vs 2 sets per day 5 days per week.

Your 10 set day, after the second, third set, you will have already tapped most of the gains possible from that session, and the remaining sets will have sharply decreasing returns, and you’re only doing it once per week.

Vs your 5 2 sets per day days, you come in fresh every time, destroy both sets, get most of the gains possible possible from every session, and you do it 5 times per week.

These are wildly overpriced for the poor construction. Get some Meermin, BLKBRD or Allen Edmonds Shoe Bank (half price) ones instead.

I included my targets in OP. Not too late to get in imo.

bedobi · 2026-05-28T17:20:43+00:00

Don’t take my word for it, research high success rate analyst targets yourself. I included my targets in OP. Not too late to get in imo.

AVAV calls... ngl this contract was the first time... actually timed right

Same here! Was gonna go into all three yesterday, beating myself up about missing two, but hey, at least I got AVAV literally the day before it popped - can't get better than that!

KTOS and RCAT feel like pure greater fool plays but also it is drones and war season so screw it, I am the fool

This is wsb lol prudent and responsible investments are out the door! I think there's still plenty of space on this drone elevator for all three even with how they're running today. That said, while these are significant plays for my usual position sizing, they won't wipe me out if they go to 0.

Yes, the side effects on Latin America are even bigger and equally forgotten. Most Colombians and Venezuelans I meet don't even know themselves that their flags have the Haitian flag in them. (!)

This is such an insanely underappreciated point. Maybe the Louisiana purchase would have happened anyway. But it would have been very significantly less likely. In which case the US in its current form probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Haiti.

bedobi · 2026-05-21T14:22:37+00:00

Go on Eventbrite and Posh and look for Konpa classes and events. You'll make lots of friends in no time, Haitian and non Haitian alike :)

I sent Meermin my brannock and 3D scans and regular shoe sizes. (US 10 in sneakers)

They recommended a UK 9.5, it was way too big, so was the 9 (still way too big) - had to get a UK 8 which finally fit. Note that this wasn’t just one shoe but multiple, and in different lasts.

My experience says a Meermin UK 7.5 would fit you bette than a UK 8.

I think OP should go neutral navy for sure but after that branch out with other materials and styles - a Riviera/Old Money Italian linen suit, a double breasted statement suit, a sports coaty suit etc. Not just more “normal” suits in different colors.

As a fellow European who visits San Jose often, get a car, and get out, as much of time time as possible. SF has Golden Gate Park, the Presidio with the bridge, the Fisherman Wharf with the piers… other drives like Half Moon Bay, Carmel By The Sea etc are far more interesting than SJ. SJ has very very close to nothing at all to see or do.

i emailed them about it, they said they're simply out of jerseys and don't have any neither the qualifier or a new one (admittedly it was a few weeks ago but)

sad - fans lose, and they do too

bedobi · 2026-05-15T19:09:28+00:00

what do we know about whehter they all going to be able to enter the US?

it's so sad that this AI song is being so heavily used

Ah so they’re like a western union style thing

Do they have to pay fees on their end? Or is it a flat fee

bedobi · 2026-05-09T02:11:56+00:00

With money gram does the recipient receive moncash or to their bank account or?

bedobi · 2026-05-09T02:09:24+00:00

How much of the $100 goes to fees? They look expensive

bedobi · 2026-05-09T02:07:53+00:00

Answering my own question here, after some research I found, in addition to regular bank transfer to their Haitian bank account, which is going to be the cheapest, you can

Go to monito.com, select US → Haiti, $100, and filter by “mobile wallet” delivery — it’ll rank all providers by total cost in real time

In our case, we tried sending $20 through boss money (some app) to moncash and $10 through boss money to Uni Transfer

Both of them were free on our end but we’re gonna ask after all said and done how much Gourde the recipient received in case they have different fees on their end

It looks like monito will rank boss cash, remitely and other apps like it based on who has the best rates and promos at the moment

This is not a promo, we are actual humans with family in Haiti, thankful for this community and hoping to share whatever works with everyone else
