    Yes! What camera are you using? I’ve got a nice on I use all the time on an XT-2.

    They basically do already with military base(s) etc but it’s that softpower colonialism that Trump just can’t comprehend, he needs it to be a fucking trinket or something.

    He’s just saying the quiet part out loud as usual. Would be surprised if they literally invaded but our timeline’s novelty factor has been out of whack for a while now so who knows.

    Ha! To be honest, snipping each others tubes was more of a week 1 move in the Ukraine war.

    Recently got into Better Offline. The CES coverage is hilarious. It’s all about the tech industry from a ranty, late stage capitalism perspective.

    Also TRUE ANON is funny.

    Just keep run/walking but make sure the run is more of a jog - it’s not intervals!

    Basically take it easy and it gets much easier very quickly.

    Haha, it’s a real outlier. It was a pair of Saucony Triumph 20s. Their designers were on the doctors of running podcast last year and joked about how those particular midsoles will basically go on forever until they start getting physically worn down by abrasion.

    Lightstrike Pro lasts for bloody ever as well so you’re good ;)

    I recently retired some shoes at 1,700km. Highly unusual but they just had boss level midsoles. Usually get about 800-1000

    Depends on the shoe. Different foams age differently. Adidas Boost and Saucony Pwrrun+ (TPU pellets) tends to last for fucking ever. Plain old EVA goes bad fast but it’s usually mixed with other compounds these days.

    The big leap, excluding peba foams in racing shoes has been supercritical foaming processes allowing for loads of new blends. A lot of them last a long time and I wouldn’t base a shoe being “done” purely on the mileage, more the wear. Body weight and foot strike also affect how a midsole and outsole wear out.

    The Continental stuff is 90% marketing and more about getting Rizla-thin soles on racing shoes for weight savings. The outsole on the SL2 is just labelled as “rubber” and is grippy as anything.
