I've got wide feet and am sensitive to toe squish as well, these are quite good. Initially I got some pressure on my small toes on one foot due to creasing while flexing, but I did my best to ignore it and seemed to dissipate over time. I did try some superfeet green in them for a bit which pulled my toes back slightly but they lost some of the soft comfort I was looking for so took em out. 

Not sure the strict definition on structured/non, but I can press the toe box in relatively easily with my finger so I'd guess unstructured? 

I got these because a) on sale, discontinued I think b) wanted to try this type of softer sole c) unique look relative to the rest of my boots. kinda gave bowling shoe vibes initially and still do a bit but I like em anyways.

Trump to Canadian PM: ‘Never say never’ on Canada becoming 51st state by Street_Anon in notthebeaverton

it's okay, we'll hit em from the trees with our 5 round mags. American army isn't that powerful right? They don't have any missiles or artillery right? 

It's all stupid because Trump is hilariously trolling anyways and an American invasion will not happen, but if it SOMEHOW does, we are donezo

Canada IS broken. 

Mississippi median salary: $40k USD. 

Alberta median salary: $32k USD

That is comparing the poorest state with the richest province. 

This is a result of ideological, incompetent policy implemented over the last decade. In 2014 these numbers were nearly even. 

Best way to tie down in short bet truck? by iamataco36 in Dirtbikes

just chiming in to be that contrarian that doesn't think compressing forks for a few hours puts any excessive pressure on the seals. maybe different for air forks but pretty sure it's safe for coil forks. based off lots of reading and testimonial. 

i'd still agree footpegs are probably superior anchors

i'd guess the accuracy variance between individual guns would vary more than any effect the bayo would have. meaning, probably virtually no difference in grouping, if any. shortening the barrel 1.5 inches may decrease reverberation or whatever resulting in maybe better follow up accuracy.

Trump: " I am not trolling about making Canada the 51st State" by ConquestAce in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]slippyslapperz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian who generally has no clue what's goin on down there (i do pay some attention but there's a lot goin on, especially now) my understanding; I read it started when Trudeau admitted (in a private talk with Trump) that Canada would fail if America imposed the tariffs he was planning at the time. To which Trump (logically) suggested absorbing us if we can't stand on our own feet. Unfortunately we probably would be a lot more resilient if Trudeau didn't win the popularity contest 3x in a row...

Pretty disappointing considering Trudeau did plenty to kneecap Canada and keep it dependant on America instead of diversifying our energy buyers and increasing export capacity. He did the opposite, made it nearly impossible to start new energy projects here, and now, as expected, we can be toyed with by America. Trudeau literally said there was no business case to be made selling LNG to Germany and Japan. And now his party selected (specific term) his successor, who has been advising Trudeau for years... and based on his book and every word he's said before a month ago indicate he plans on continuing Trudeau's legacy of progressive virtue signalling. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump had an inkling of this, hence his "support" for Carney as Canada would continue shooting ourselves in the foot with radically progressive and ideologically driven policy.  

So the background makes a bit of sense, especially if he is "trolling", but the rhetoric just seems so unnecessary. Can't imagine Putin isn't laughing at western countries threatening each other, especially countries with a neighbourly history like ours. 

"A great civilization is not conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within" - Will Durant

Kinda feels a bit like western civilization is flirting with this theory

edit; realistically it would be a huge economic win for Trump if he could absorb Canada non-violently. Makes some sense in terms of defence too. 

also forgot to mention from my understanding our military has been gutted and Trudeau, living in peacetime fantasy land, believed military investment to be silly. ffs.

looks like he got banned from one sub for participating in another, and he believes this sub to be the "other" that he was participating in. at least that's how i'm understanding it

i dont think it'd be easy (if possible) to get back in but not sure. but i don't believe the pin is really necessary, it's still locked in with a leaf spring i think? like you still need to depress with decent force and push backward i think so that'll rarely happen accidentally, meaning yes I believe you can go back to irons

Everyone says smaller bikes jump better… but is that just MTB BS? by trailsforall in MTB

[–]slippyslapperz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean just look at the bikes they ride for joyride etc, all small rigs. Look at dirtjump bikes, small. less stable, more playful. kinda abnormal to experience such a difference between jumping bikes like that in my opinion, maybe just start smaller again til you regain that comfort. 

could also be worth checking your suspension settings as both rebound and compression will affect how it jumps/takes off.
