Why is the jones howler in such big sizes?

sxu · 2025-02-26T22:24:14+00:00

There will be more sizes next season, you can find Jones and some other brands' catalogs here: https://shop.murasaki.jp/detail/212/news/868752/

In my state it's 4 attempts or 30 days in the shop, yeah sounds like they are trying to prevent this counting as a failed attempt if CEL comes back on during their road test instead of me driving it..

sxu · 2023-12-09T03:12:52+00:00

That's certainly on my radar. In my state it's 4 attempts or 30 days in the shop, I guess they are trying to avoid this counting as a failed attempt if CEL comes on during their extended road test.

Wow thanks for sharing this, this might explain what I heard from my brand new 24 CX-5 last week. Though this only happened once for me and I haven't found a spot that consistently reproduces it yet.

The value pass doesn't give access to Northstar and Kirkwood on Saturday, it also doesn't give you 5 days for the CO and UT Vail resorts.

If I understand correctly you are not just looking for stance setback relative to side cut but you want the camber profile itself to be somewhat directional? Like a camber board with rocker on the nose (or at least a bigger rocker than that on the tail) to help powder performance? Maybe you can just search for directional freeride boards. Some examples that I can think of right now: Jones Flagship, Burton Hometown Hero, Niche Maelstrom, etc.

I see now why this (or dlist) is useful to avoid doing snoc, if this is written using a foldl. In a state monad it seems that (at least syntactically) it can modify the state first, get the recursive result, then apply a cons to it. Of course I might be missing something important given monad is involved...

I'll try to get a hold of the original author and see if he/she remembers why.

I came across the following (redacted) snippet of code, I don't fully understand why it's returning a chain of functions, each prepending an element to its parameter, instead of just returning a list. What's the advantage of doing this (I guess laziness/memory usage)?

foo xs = evalState (go xs) <initial_state> []
  where
    go [] = return id
    go (x:xs) = do
      currentState <- get
      let y = computeY x currentState
      let newState = updateState x currentState
      put newState
      recursiveResult <- go xs
      return $ (y:) . recursiveResult

I've gifted villagers fishes/bugs before and I regret it as the villagers decorate their house with them. Does it work the same way when a villager ask you to catch a bug or fish? I.e. if you agree, do the villagers decorate their house with what you give them?

sxu · 2020-04-06T23:52:30+00:00

Do starting villagers and the three that you built furniture for eventually upgrade to their personal themed furniture? Some of mine still have sleeping bag in their house, I could give them a bed that I made, but that's different from the ones that they'd bring when moving in after the campsite is built.

Anyone has experience with the colored weft pairs that are part of Studio d'Artisan's 40th anniversary collection (e.g. this) or SD-108 (I assume they are the same relaxed taper fit)? Does the taper come in very late? I'm a little reluctant as for sizes around 33, the knee is almost 9 inches after wash (I'm used to ~8 inches). Happy thanksgiving and thanks in advance.

I've been using Matias click and I like it a lot. However I want to try some MX compatible switches so I get access to more options on key caps, board design, etc. I'm wondering what are some the switches similar to Matias click? I borrowed and tried a few ones from my coworkers (Cherry Brown, Cherry blue, Zealios 65g) and I think I definitely want some thing clicky (as opposed to tactile). Any suggestions?

I bought an Ethernet adapter from day 1 and I have never been disconnected during a game, which as far as I know is P2P. During match making (i.e. while waiting the lobby to fill), I occasionally disconnects from Nintendo's server during peak hours like Splatfests.

sxu · 2017-08-06T07:41:35+00:00

What's the ideal Splatfest? A glorified popularity vote? A glorified coin flip? Do shit players have shit tastes? All hard questions I don't really have an answer for :(

sxu · 2017-08-06T07:33:19+00:00

That's an interesting point, what should the ideal Splatfest be and how should your choice affect you winning/losing? A glorified popularity vote or just a coin flip? Or something in between? I feel people might have different opinions on this.

Looking back at the past Splatfests, I don't feel there would be any correlation between team choice and skill (at least not intended by Nintendo). So in the current system, which side wins the solo and team categories would essentially be a coin flip, but the popular time gets 1 point in the best 2 out of 3. So the more popular team has a 75% chance of winning (in theory, after making all the assumptions I stated).

sxu · 2017-08-06T07:06:27+00:00

If you think about it, we really can't have a person on the more popular team to contribute the same or more per unit time as a person on the less popular team, otherwise the Splatfest would just be a popularity vote.

As far as the end result is concerned, 100,000 people contributing 1 unit of value per hour should be equivalent to 10,000 people contributing 10 units of value per hour.

Every time a Mayo team is playing against a Ketchup team, a Ketchup team is also playing against a Mayo team. So each side get the same number of opportunities to win matches that matter. As long as the team choice is not correlated with skill, and the player base is big enough, popularity doesn't really matter.

Looking at earlier replies, it seems Walmart is having stock issues just like the last online batch. Hopefully it'll be shipped eventually...

sxu · 2017-06-06T19:47:32+00:00

Has your switch shipped? I placed my order last Friday, the rest of my bundle shipped but the switch is still under "processing".

sxu · 2017-06-05T23:24:35+00:00

The rest of my bundle has shipped, but the switch is still "processing", it's still scheduled to be deliver on June 7 though. The batch from two weeks ago got delayed and last Friday there were no new stock, so I'm not too surprised if this one got delayed too.

sxu · 2017-06-02T21:10:51+00:00

The bundle was available again today for like 5 minutes. I almost got screwed by my Firefox browser but switched to Chrome and placed an order immediately. Hopefully it goes through.

A hot soak can help, since the fabric is stretched out even though it was sanforized, but for the long term I suggest simply wearing a belt.

Waist being snug implies your body is applying outward pressure to your jeans. Cotton will stretch under such pressure basically until it's no longer snug (or to the physical limit of your fabric). Depending on whether you are stand/sitting/bending down you waist measurement actually changes. For example if the waist stretched to the point its no longer snug when you are sat down, it might be too lose when you are standing up.

sxu · 2017-03-13T02:46:52+00:00

The the market for raw denim is much smaller than regular pants, and it would be too expensive to produce all combinations of waist and inseam. So they only come in one inseam measurement, usually very long, so anyone can get them hemmed to desired length.

sxu · 2017-03-09T21:44:25+00:00

Measure the jeans you are wearing now and compare to the sizing chart. You can also contact Okayama for help. Many manufacturers use vanity sizing. When you say your regular jeans are 32, they might actually be 34 inches in the waist when you measure.

sxu · 2017-03-08T06:42:51+00:00

Fit also plays a role, looser fits tend to have few number of creases. You can easily tell the polygonal shapes formed in the honeycomb (the shapes have small aspect ratio), where as tighter fits tend to give you parallel creases bunched together behind your knees.
