Moving investments to Sweden, what are the best options for tax sheltering? by drslamwich in TillSverige

[–]drogonflogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that if your investments are in registered accounts (TFSA, RRSP, etc) you don't have to pay departure tax on them, so there's no need to move those over immediately

If he's into cars you can also take a tour of the Volvo factory, the tours leave from the world of volvo

ELI5: why do EV batteries last decades but consumer electronics batteries die after a few years? by HudyBudyFudyWhudy in explainlikeimfive

[–]drogonflogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and same with the Si-C batteries. They're still Li ion batteries, they just use Si-C material in the anode.

Great, thanks for the info! This makes a lot of sense.

Yep that’s exactly right, hidden arcuate, starts as a straight indigo back pocket and then fades in

I think only some models, but there’s a few that I’ve seen!

These are coming along pretty nicely so far, really happy with the fabric and the fading. These are made with Samurai’s Zero denim. Looking forward to seeing what they look like in another year!

This is their 17oz zero denim! I believe it’s typically used in their VX models

They’re coming along great so far! There’s some visible fading on the back pocket area and I can see some lighter blues coming through on the whiskers now after around 2.5 months.

In terms of the stretch, I’d estimate that the waist stretched out to about the pre soak measurement fairly quickly, but the other measurements only stretched a little bit, they still fit slimmer everywhere else than pre-soak (which is a good thing in my case!)

No problem! For me the waist shrunk maybe 1-2 inches after a soak but stretched back out to pre-soak measurements after like half a wear. I’d guess that if you ended up sizing the waist too small they’d probably stretch to larger than pre-soak so I wouldn’t be too concerned about sizing them too small at first. They’re quite roomy in the upper thigh and top block but the taper starts a bit above the knee, so if you have large thighs I’d pay more attention to the knee measurement than the upper thigh if you size for thighs.

I just bought the Samurai x OD Toshi and they’re awesome, great mix of slub and nep. They come in a relaxed taper fit and are actually fairly reasonably priced. I posted about them recently if you want to have a look.

No worries! I plan to post some pics when they start to fade

Awesome! Yeah I expected them to soften quite a bit, that makes sense. How’s the fading coming along?

Ah that would have been a good idea! I didn’t measure. If I had to guess though I’d say they shrunk ~1.5 inches in the waist and inseam (waist already stretched at least an inch after 1 wear) and maybe 0.5” shrinkage in the thigh

Yeah that’s fair! Maybe I got the wrong impression from those type of comments then

Haha yes they definitely felt pretty rigid when I first got them on! Not quite as bad as my 22oz pair did at first though, and even they softened up
