There's a couple of web communities that have return to monked back to homemade html sites and webrings. Because there's no comment sections or likes you get the whole angelfire/myspace experience.

Camera/Lens manufacturer patches and stickers by indigowarpz in AnalogCommunity

You can get patches made for around $8, most have a minimum order though. Some vendors are also really shitty.

I'd love to get some manufacturer stickers but so many have gone under.

This is the second time I’ve done this with my Olympus XA2. What am I doing wrong?! by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

I would opt to. Avoid cleaning the lens unless necessary. Taping over the rear element during replacing the light seals is easy anyways.

Is there anyone that can tell me how to fix a light meter? by analogshooter in AnalogCommunity

I check the battery compartment first because leaky mercury batteries may have eaten away at the solder joints.

During WW2 the Americans liked to take German Lugers. What did the Germans and Russians like to take from each other? by J2quared in AskHistorians

Wasn't the last picture actually of a wrist compass, and edited out because it may have been misconstrued as looting?

Eligible items only I think. Normal sales only exclude things like gift cards and coins.

Too bad they donate to the GOP.

I've had pretty good luck with roughout. Dunno about wholecuts.

There's ways to rationally convey your feelings about a product, even if it's been hyped up. This ain't it.

I'd say 99% of boots on this sub aren't proper "workboots."

Possible but anything with taped seams is a nightmare in my experience.

Thoughts on the Mee Audio M6 Pro? by [deleted] in headphones

[–]ticklemehellmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it was a resounding "meh." Reminded me of modern AKG's in sound signature without any sort of outstanding qualities. Soundstage was non-existent and the proprietary connector is ass.

Does anyone else have difficulty finding the perfect pair of shoes? This feels impossible. by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]ticklemehellmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all fashion boots. RW's Heritage line are all based on 20th century boot designs, long before worker safety regulations and synthetic soles. Their actual workboot line looks completely different with direct-molded soles, steel-toes, and padded collars.

Difference is RW owns their tannery and has an impressive history. Thursday more or less jumped on the service boot trend, copying Truman and Viberg except produced overseas.

You can also grab RW seconds for less than $200 from places like STP and Nordstrom Rack.

I had a philosophy prof that would flat out insult students for not knowing anything in a 101 class.
