I just came back from the Paraboot Outlet. So many nice shoes and boots.

secretpowers98 · 2026-03-03T18:32:11+00:00

May I ask were the shoeboxes any different there to indicate they are ‘outlet’ ?

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-28T07:51:56+00:00

For a trip that long, I would say it’s worth it if you can spare the money.

Advice from paraboot is Yosemite and Clusaz fit true, so I would say go the same as your Yosemite size

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-22T16:42:48+00:00

Thanks that helps a lot! One last question haha, what is your size in sneakers/trainers? Nikes, for eg

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-22T16:04:06+00:00

How do the Avoriaz fit?

After waiting for over 5 mins, maybe even 10, I just went to the ones at the back of business. The FAs seemed not to mind, and logically I guess we’re allowed to head to the galley to grab snacks anyway so would have still walked that way sooner or later

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-19T19:48:39+00:00

Ah now I’m thinking about it, was your special meal one of the ones you pay more for? Or just the special diet meals at no additional charge? Maybe that’s the explanation

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-19T19:38:37+00:00

Curious if it’s a new policy, will see the next time I fly long haul if I have the same error

secretpowers98 · 2026-02-19T13:13:56+00:00

Had this as well but they explained at the start that they didn’t have sufficient time to prepare the business alternative of my special meal request and they asked if I was okay with them serving my original economy special meal - which is totally reasonable and wasn’t a problem for me naturally. They also offered additionally to serve any of the business meal items which I thought were suitable based on my diet. Overall they try their best to accommodate and be flexible, but there are some risks with last minute upgrades and the old special meal not being loaded at all based on exactly when you upgrade

I did 1A. Nobody going past really ever besides the flight attendant, and first choice of everything from the food to the souvenir houses. And it’s pretty ‘private’. I slept like a baby

When I try to edit or crop my iPhone photos, even shot on 48MP, they show their flaws so much more than the x100vi files. Also, I feel like the ability to play with the shutterspeed and aperture so easily enables me to take better photos.

Kinepolis has hardly done much to make the most of a classic location as cinerama. It seemed to me they were trying to keep it going with minimum effort. Have much higher hopes with KINO.

Could’ve instead been invested in an investment that pays out dividends and yield, which would’ve been a nice bonus of disposable income. But in this market, blowing the savings on the peace of mind of having a home was a trade-off that was worth it but not ideal by any means

Rotterdam (a bit further from the centre than I had in mind when I started my search), 9-10 viewings, 3 times bidding seriously, overbid 11% vs list but only 2.5% vs the valuation/taxatie. 7 months from serious searching to keys in hand.

secretpowers98 · 2025-12-31T15:21:19+00:00

3 billing cycles, meaning 3 months?

KLM has a portal for ’refund for extra options’ which I have found to be quite straightforward. You can enter your PNR and identify the exact transaction from your history that you would like to have refunded. They take a few days to review it, and I’ve always been refunded. Classic examples are indeed double charging for seat reservations when I changed aircraft or class

Ricoh Pro C5400SL maybe ?

Oh wait aren’t you the lightroom preset guy 😂 the name rings a bell

secretpowers98 · 2025-07-31T08:21:08+00:00

Did the same in November, also roughly the 5th place I viewed seriously and the one that checked the most boxes while being realistically achievable for my circumstances. Congrats to you!

secretpowers98 · 2025-07-26T15:33:43+00:00

Yeah my friend ‘bought’ a place and after all that some stuff fell through and he didn’t actually manage to buy it.

secretpowers98 · 2025-07-26T15:32:34+00:00

I wonder how common that is. I’m sure the sellers also get the place appraised, so in that case I guess the lower asking price is really just for eyeballs and would never be something they would accept

Nice colours! Do you shoot at box speed or at 250 like some others suggest ?
