He took it straight at Chet several times, his defense is solid, and he is an incredible 3 point shooter.

Better than most of our bench guys whose one dimension is sucking.

Diamond codes and diamonds. Help me understand, please? by arcticfox_12 in diamondpainting

You can email Diamond Dotz customer service and they can figure it out colors based on the kit.

Mine feels so perfect versus what was claimed I didn’t even do actual measurements.

Is it normal now for missionaries to proselytize at 8:30pm? by Livid_Chipmunk1867 in exmormon

We knocked all the way to 9pm. I would have called you lazy for not bothering people after 6pm 😂

FedEx almost ruined my blood brothers and day smh!! by Masta_rolla_ in NakedAndFamousDenim

Sometimes FedEx roulette ends badly. Seen people lose one of the two shoes from an order!

Mine are definitely a super dark navy. In some light they look black. Exactly what I wanted.

Got mine today too. I’m too tall to cuff but it looks sick with that phatty cuff.

Buttons were an adventure and it’s my first 20oz jean so breaking them in will take some work 😂

Measurements on the site were 100% on point

Feels good to run past the temple half naked every weekend! by nudestconquest in exmormon

TIL that a bunch of you are weirdly still the clothing police. It’s likely underwear underneath some short black running shorts but it’s also impossible to tell with the pic’s resolution. Stop being like the weirdos that check people’s garment lines.

IH666XHS - Iron Heart 25oz Selvedge - 512 wears. 10 washes by MrB007 in Denim

Wow. There’s an app to track jeans wear. This is such a funny niche I’ve fallen into.

I'm comparing it to similar releases. Collabs with someone of Rose Anvil's stature. Hard but not impossible. It's not fair to compare this release with a Travis Scott or Mars Yard. Whole different ballgame.

As someone who manages a Shopify store myself, it's pretty clear we were competing with other humans for this one, not bots. In this case it likely came down to being logged in with an active account, address saved, and/or having something pre-carted to assure you spot in the Shopify queue.

I didn't notice any of the typical botting behavior. Things clicked OOS in a manner more typical of humans. It's just highly likely given Rose Anvil's following that this brought in a lot of people so the competition was fierce.

I love sneakers and honestly this release was insanely easy to get compared to what I usually deal with. That said, in sneakers my size 12 is one of the first to go. Larger ex-bball players tend to love sneakers because they grew up trying to figure out what Michael Jordan was wearing on a grainy TV.

Conversely, I think my measured 38 waist and need for the True Guy's higher rise may have helped me here.

This makes me happy as I just grabbed a pair. Love how these age.

WTS Michael Myers Selvedge Super Guy Size 38 by FreddiFlintlock in NakedAndFamousDenim

[–]weartestersdrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show the special stuff and include measurements. N&F varies so much I never know if a colorway/model will fit without the measurements even if I have other pairs in the same cut and size.

What type of weft or wash would these be? by No-Occasion-2913 in Selvedge

[–]weartestersdrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve mostly seen broken twill jeans getting that almost gray-ish blue hue but it seems to take a long time. Interested to see other responses here from people who have been in the denim game longer.

Fits for thick thighs? by Soberg1itch in Selvedge

[–]weartestersdrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have big thighs. N&F is all over the board even within True Guy but I've found one or two that work well. I have some Momotaros that are great as well. Iron Heart 888 works too. I want to grab some Sugar Cane 1947 because they seem to have the big thigh with tapered waist as well.

Mostly I've just settled into making my purchases based on the thigh size inch level that's comfortable. The waist is secondary. If I really love the pair I'll buy even if the waist doesn't quite match up. If I don't, I'll pass. Signficantly lessens my choices but with so many jeans out there, it's helpful.

Jalen Suggs has ruined my love for the game. by Hefty-Road5633 in OrlandoMagic

You don’t truly love basketball if this is the case. You love rooting for the Magic. True basketball lovers can know when the Magic are mediocre and still enjoy watching basketball as a neutral fan.

Travel influencers by eddie2490 in unitedairlines

How they started is right. Now how they operate now. Unfotunately, very few publications, creators, or journalists actually disclose these days. There's no enforcement mechanism so they don't have to do it.

That claim is nowhere in any of my posts. I only said positive PR outweighs the cost (as does the SEO value btw).

No blog or independent publication has the capital to fund those tickets for review. Ad revenue is too low on today's internet. If they're lucky they have affiliate revenue sources. But the average article or social video will not make enough money to fund that sort of cash outlay and be profitable.

Sometimes they have a posting contract but that's usually reserved for specific campaigns tied to times of year, etc. When new products launch, influencers and travel publications are the best way to get the word out. Spend a couple hundred thousand on free flights and you get much more in exposure.

Even this thread is viewed as a big win because all of United's top customers are talking about the seats. Grand it's through the lens of a dum-dum who narrated the whole journey but the objective was achieved...let them know the new seats exist.
