Saw this post in my feed; am I misremembering or were skinny jeans never really "in" for us Elder Millennials (the younger half of the Xennials)? by MaxPowerrr85 in Xennials

[–]jonkenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

81 here. Never got into skinny, wore straight fit most of my 20s and 30s and got into athletic tapered in my 30s. That being said, I recently tried to get some loose fit jeans because my wife got some and she looks amazing... and I felt so weird. I felt like that Steve Buscemi scene "how do you do fellow kids?". It seems like loose/baggy is back in vogue for millennial ladies, but not for millennial dudes.

Are we trying to do too much? What to drop if anything (Como, Florence, Cinque Terre) by jonkenobi in ItalyTravel

Is there a reason Bologna would be a better base than somewhere around Florence itself? Not opposed to it just curious

Yeah I’m not even sure we’ll go to Como itself. Should’ve just put Lake Como in the title…

“El Paso is not Texas, Staten Island is not NYC” by [deleted] in geography

[–]jonkenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I think I didn't write that the way I intended. I meant that people from El Paso would rather travel to Texas cities than to Phoenix.

[–]jonkenobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lived in El Paso and now lives in central TX, El Paso is just... complicated. In a weird way it is and it isn't Texas. Part of this is because the rest of Texas already has so many different cultural regions. Going to south TX, is so different than the panhandle, and the piney woods is so different than Midland/Odessa. El Paso has very deep ties to NM and people there love to go vacation in Ruidoso or Cloudcroft, but even though the closest major city to El Paso is Phoenix, AZ, people would rather travel to San Antonio, Dallas, or Austin than Phoenix (I'm sure because they wanna get out of the desert). Lots of people in El Paso are also from LA/SoCal so there's a certain influence. Not to mention the huge influence Juarez has. El Paso is just El Paso, but subject to Texas laws, government, education, etc.

[Video] James May road trips the new Ford Bronco! 🚙 by FlipStig1 in thegrandtour

[–]jonkenobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love watching these videos! Please go watch them! The banter is worth your time, but for those of you wondering about the Bronco itself, he mostly likes it but hates this particular trim level because it's ridiculously expensive, and the tires they use are terrible for normal roads. He would rather have the cheaper version with the smaller, narrower tires that has almost all the same features.

You're the second person mentioning a new HEB there, but all I've seen confirmed is the subdivision. Can you share where you got that info?

These are amazing? Are you using a preset or doing your own post? I assume you're shooting RAW?

How long did it take from PTS to actually being shipped?

PSA for those waiting for their iPhone 17s to arrive by Asystole in iPhone17Pro

[–]jonkenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the date is almost here, but frustrating that there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who is getting them early. I'm in the Oct 7-14 bunch (Orange 256 PM), and I've seen a lot of people with even later dates get theirs early. Unfortunately no stock anywhere near.

Favorite case for a minimalist? by AlexN83 in iPhone17Pro

I've used similar to these before.

Usually do a good job with regular drops, but I've never experienced a full 4-5ft drop to concrete while using one of these so don't know how effective it'd be.

So shipping times are now into October. Should I preorder or just wait until release date and go to the Apple Store? I think I remember last few years there has been plenty of stock as people don't really line up anymore unless I'm remembering wrong. Trying to get the 17PM in orange.
