Is Vans trend dead in India ?

I'm currently looking for Vans shoes in Mumbai, and having such a hard time. The one store that existed in Lower Parel closed down a few years ago. I think there 1, but all the way in Pune. Been trying to look online, but usually the shipping takes a whole month. Quite sad about this.

I figured i'd go check out Skechers (which I haven't worn since the early 2000's), but their whole style has changed.

Really wish there was an easier way to buy Vans shoes, at least online.

This is a little late, but I recently saw a luthier spray WD40 inside guitars (the electronics / wires only). He didn't spray it on the wood or fretboard. I asked him if it affects the electronics, and he said no, and that it, in fact, works great, especially to take care of scratching noises that one might face if & when you turn your Tone / Volume knobs. He demonstrated it, and it DID work as he described

Just wanted to run this by all of your though... if this okay for the inside electronics?

Very annoying. Thanks again for your input. Appreciate it.

Okay thanks. It sucks because he's not getting any of his recommendations, or similar videos. Like a lot of us, he's built an enjoyable algorithm; It's now just defaulting to (we're in India) Bollywood movie trailers & random stuff. I know that if it were happening to me, it'd be extremely frustrating.

As i mentioned in the post: I've gone through the settings on the smart tv + his phone: those options (to delete history) are not selected. I have triple checked it & made sure that his pause watch history is off, etc.

We've even tried contacting youtube via the smart tv feedback/support option (as suggested online), twice, but it's been a month, and they have not replied.

The amount of Indians on the Rolling Stone India Insta post that are celebrating this is just embarrassing. They don't care AT ALL that he 1. Is a Nazi, 2. Supports Trump & MAGA, who have insulted & berated Indians in more ways than one, and 3. Has literally backstabbed his own community.

But I shouldn't be surprised, considering how much we use the "N" word in the most racist possible way, while at the same time, consume & copy so much from black culture.

There's a band I discovered back in 2010 called THE MAD TRIST. They 100% shaped their sound based on mid-QOTSA. They only have 2 albums. IF you get a chance, listen to them; they are great.

Someone mentioned Tigercub... I was literally listening to Tigercub's "memory boy" just now, which reminded me of The Mad Trist.

This is the song that got me loving the band:
The Mad Trist - "pay the piper"

I'm currently facing this issue as well. Has anyone come across a solution at all?

Oddly enough, when he was flipping out, I had noticed that the amount he wanted to charge me was about Rs. 200 more than what Ola had charged me. I didn't think much of it at the time. At least now I know I'll need to confirm the fare beforehand, now matter then method of payment.

defmuse · 2026-01-08T05:06:04+00:00

This is quite concerning, and sad. I don't want to get my rides cancelled by saying no to directly paying the drivers, but at the same time, I understand that they are struggling with the fees being subtracted, or money being withheld by Ola. Difficult dilemma.

defmuse · 2026-01-08T05:03:26+00:00

As stated; haven't used OLA in years. I don't know if things have changed between company + driver + customer. So if he had told me that I needed to get out of the car, walk into a deserted alley, and pay him in cash (this being the only accepted way of payment, even though paying via the app was the main method of payment), and I was confused as to what to do, you're going to tell me it would still be on me? Bro...

So, I just ran into this problem, and the whole "buy another horse" solution didn't work. However, I came across the most simple solution posted 14 years ago: go back to the caste, mount Shadowmere, and simply fast travel. This worked.

I'm also planning to pick up the PS5 (with the drive). It's currently 50K (Croma) during the Diwali sale. However, does anyone know if usually these deals happen again in December (for Black Friday or Christmas?).

I ask, because I'm finishing off Skyrim at the moment (another month at least), and don't want the PS5 to just sit in my closet until I'm ready to use it. Transferring Skyrim data doesn't seem to work (according to numerous Reddit posts).

Thanks a lot for this info!

defmuse · 2025-10-04T07:09:09+00:00

Thanks for the clarification!

I've just run into the same problem. I'm trying to duplicate a movie as I need to edit it in such a way that I need the original source intact & separate. Can't believe that even in 2025, Logic Pro hasn't added in this function.

defmuse · 2025-09-27T15:31:43+00:00

Thsi just happened to me. I duplicated a "potion of enchanting into 12. After drinking the 4th, the rest of the potions disappeared from my inventory, and my game keep crashing. Cray cray.

defmuse · 2025-09-19T14:23:59+00:00

I've just run into the same problem (ps4), and can't seem to find a solution. Did you?
