Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?

It feels like jeans - regardless of designer or ‘raw denim’ status - were clothes until about seven years ago, then they became fragile and precious jewels.

News flash: if you’re worried about washing your jeans, you’re inventing problems because you have none of your own.

Chabot is a rare beast indeed - a conservative politician that I actually (occasionally) agree with.

Alberta checking in. Jumped from $1.31/L to $1.52 overnight. (That’s about $3.65 and $4.25/gal USD.)

Don’t think of them as fruits. It’s more like a very rich, creamy vegetable.

By itself it has a mild nutty flavour. When ripe enough to mash, you make guacamole (tonatoes, onion, salt, and freah lime juice) and it becomes amazing.

But on its own, not groundbreaking.

Good.

Fuck Amazon.

Yeah, good luck pretending you’re not running to Trump with everything you can find.

In this case, because it was the specific word used by someone in court.

It’s a case where the quotes don’t imply ‘well, that’s just your opinion, man!’

Oh look, the hard-right christofascist assholes are all coming out of the woodwork to attack the hard-right christofascist SEPARATIST assholes they spawned.

Preston can fuck right off, and keep going.

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Yeah, it is.

That’s exactly how I read it too!

My son is also taking creatine, and we did a lot of research before I agreed.

Creatine CAN cause significant kidney damage, and before that point, CAN cause kidney stones. The key is to (a) regulate your dose, and (b) drink enough water.

Within reason it’s quite safe, but stay within reason.

AI has been an absolute game-changer for these companies!

Now they can create an artificial supply shortage, bump the prices up, and never deal with the economic side-effects of Moore’s Law again!

Fuckers.

I was in line for well over an hour first thing in the morning. By the time I left, the line was almost doubled.

“20+” minutes is a bad high watermark for this.

Religion tends to justify itself in the face of absolutely no evidence with “proof denies faith.” It’s a garbage argument, but it’s accepted.

Ghosts don’t have any similar excuse to fall back on when we fail to see any credible evidence whatsoever.

Is the soul a thing? Does consciousness exist as more than the sum of the electrical network of the brain? Who am “I”? These are all interesting and probably unanswerable philosophical questions. “Do ghosts exist” though, is a pretty straightforward no.

The idea that fundamental infrastructure- especially international infrastructure - can be privately owned AND operated as a profit centre is beyond reprehensible.

Horrible click bait president.

I guess “mid-size” needs a bit of definition.

I’ve got a Triumph Tiger 800, and love it. Decided against the 1200 because I didn’t really need that much more displacement. I went with the alloy rims, and that meant tires that aren’t meant for the

The vStrom 650 or 800 are both great bikes. By all accounts the 800 hits a sweet spot, except that it’s not actually a “V”.

Honestly, if it were 5L larger, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

20L is pretty tight for clothes - and their next model up is 35L. Something, ANYTHING in between those would be ideal.

But I’m sorely tempted…

That’s an excellent feature! My existing bag is well-padded, but the padding is at the bottom of the bag. Moving it up even a centimetre would be a great safety feature.

Thanks for that. Their stuff looks pretty solid, and I appreciate the smaller companies making great stuff. Unfortunately, the US government is negotiating a half TRILLION dollar loan to destroy my country, so I’m going to pass.
