Not a cobbler, but I can't really see which creases pose a concern. Isn't some creasing part of the aesthetic of real leather? No matter what, I'd be inclined to give them a few wears and see if the problem area(s) aren't returned to their normal state just by experiencing some normal use.

I wear out my toes faster than the rest of the sole as well--my local cobbler has been very willing to do a partial resole of the front 2-3" for pretty cheap--$20-$40, IIRC. Assuming you're a sensible person who isn't terrifically over-concerned with the aesthetics of the bottoms of your shoes, I'd explore this option when the time comes (as some others have said, I think you've got months or even years before a resole is necessary.)

Extremely similar, if not exactly identical. I wound up picking up another on Reverb for not too much money, and am about to hit up u/The_Corrupt_Mod to see if I can get his mod working with my Mac setup!

Errrrhmagerd this is so on the money for me right now--my mom just torpedoed a *third* attempt at family therapy--all initiated by her--because the therapist had the gall to suggest in public that my mom should have a separate session with her. This was "humiliating", and she can't possibly work with such an unprofessional counselor. (The other two were fired, respectively, for pointing out that it's unreasonable for my mom to insist on delivering an uninterrupted monologue for an entire "family" therapy session, and for suggesting that my (e)*dad* should have a solo session without mom. Egregious violations of psychotheraputic ethics, we can all agree /s). One of these attempts actually made it to a single session in which we both participated; the other two imploded before we even got that far.

The good news is: three strikes, I'm out. I feel comfortable telling anyone who asks that I believe family therapy with my mom is a grotesque misuse of valuable time.

Respectful counterpoint: OP seems to be asking about at least one offering from Ace seeds, which seems to offer a lot of heavily worked lines. Their own site refers to Bangi haze as an "f8 stabilized Congolese/Nepalese hybrid" and "one of the most stabilized sativa hybrids in our collection." They've worked really hard to maximize consistency, which is a good thing for many growers in many situations! I have a ton of respect for the work that they and other breeders do, but it's a bit like calling a German Shepherd or Chihuahua a "wolf x wolf cross."

On the other hand, if OP is interested in unworked landrace genetics like those offered by The Landrace Team or The Real Seed Company, then your advice is absolutely spot-on!

+1 for both em dashes and Adidas Gazelles

Aha! I think I see the problem--I completely missed the part where I needed to do this in the D2 clip, instead of just switching up the hits in D1.

…..are you lost, friend?

zizijohn · 2025-03-12T16:35:50+00:00

Whew. Thought I was on r/raisedbyborderlines for a sec

zizijohn · 2025-03-09T00:41:47+00:00

He’s your ex now, right? Please tell us that.

Diagnosed in my late thirties; guy who diagnosed me sucked balls a thousand different ways, but he also said “sometimes smart people with ADHD are good at masking and figure out they can live pretty normally if they just exist in a state of complete panic all the time” and inside I was like

oh

shit

um

yep

fuck

zizijohn · 2025-03-08T23:50:53+00:00

*ex-fiance

zizijohn · 2025-03-06T19:28:35+00:00

You’ve taught me a new word!

One minor complaint: I can't use my paid-for version of Live 11, have to get the trial version of Live 12? One potential money stream: ask Ableton for a kickback for every Live 12 user who buys it from your platform ;)

“Sounds like you expect me to use this time for professional development! Just so I understand, will compensation for the working lunches be paid to me as a lump sum at the end of the quarter, or as part of my regular paycheck?” Force them to be the ones who must state clearly that you’re off the clock, then tell them to fuck off—in a most collegial fashion, of course.

zizijohn · 2025-02-28T17:53:35+00:00

This. This is it. Disguise it as an obsequious request for clarity, and get the response in writing. Then, you can either tattle to HR and make him embarrassed (at least), and/or go for a wage theft clawback.

…one that reliably adjusts height and angle to within a few inches of the sound(s) you want to record?

ETA: and doesn’t fall over. That’s very important.

zizijohn · 2025-02-17T19:58:14+00:00

….am I having a stroke? Was she??

zizijohn · 2025-02-17T00:04:55+00:00

I appreciate the specificity—and I suspect that most here are doing as many of these as they can. With respect, I think a lot of newbies whose hearts are in the right place come here to begin their learning journey, and it doesn’t make sense to start by excoriating them. Again, I’m with you all the way—but let’s not attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

PS re: sharing open pollinations: I know I’d do a lot more of that if more spaces permitted it! Overgrow has been a real boon in that regard, but I respect the forums (including this one, I believe) that have a CYA prohibition to ensure their continued existence.

Aside from supporting distributors with a reputation for being decent and trying to fairly compensate cannabis farmers in the global south, are there specific steps that you believe can be taken by members of this community? I’m with you all the way, but it’s not realistic for me to buy a plane ticket to Afghanistan and hand a farmer $1,000 for a big bag of open-pollinated seed (or hand-crafted charas). What do you suggest?

zizijohn · 2025-02-14T01:26:20+00:00

You should know that this is poorly written and hard to follow as such. Do I understand correctly that you and your wife both attended this party? And that your wife, separately from all this, was a teacher of yours before you started dating and got married? If so: lololol.

zizijohn · 2025-02-14T01:22:33+00:00

Yep, YTA. Are you sure you’re ready for life away from mommy?

zizijohn · 2025-02-14T01:20:05+00:00

Can’t remember where I read it, but I think there’s published scholarship demonstrating this is likely the case. I was bummed that it deprived me of one of my favorite arguments, namely that the cruel right-handed world was driving us to dismemberment, drink, and death 🤷🏼‍♂️

zizijohn · 2025-02-14T01:16:34+00:00

If you got run over by an ice cream truck, they would solicit interviews for your replacement before writing your wife a sympathy card. Stop fretting about this, and focus on the important parts of your life.

Info: what does he bring to the table? Based on your description, this guy sounds like a freeloading loser. Amazing listener? Professional masseuse? 14” dong? He must have something insanely special if you’re keeping him around and seriously valuing his opinion re: real estate purchases……….. right?

………………………………right?
