Yeah I know what you mean, but having something made from technical material that doesn't make you look like you should be hiking is a good idea.
It's basically what Rapha did with their whole urban/prommuter range. When I commuted (and could still fit in it), I wore my Rapha Fixie jacket constantly because it was both technically excellent for cycling <30m distances and looked normal enough to then wear to the pub.
I feel like the popularity of outdoor gear has meant that lots of people are happy with their
arcteryx gillets under their suit jackets. But it'd be nice if there was something that struck that balance properly. -
Yes to Trumps Parsons.
No to Prince Andrew.
Equality before the law.
Is 17 years a ridiculous sentence for dodging $1.4m in tax and buying a gun when high? Yes of course. Would sending a recovering drug addict to jail do them more harm than good? Yes of course. Does he represent a danger to the public? Possibly. Idk enough.
But that is the law and sentencing as it stands. It being an unfair situation for everyone doesn't make it fair for one privileged person to circumvent it.
To me it just stands in such unbelievable contrast to the experience of say, Kalief Browder. I find the whole thing sickening.

Anyone need extra storage over Xmas but doesn't have enough room to store a fuckoff big roofbox?
Did a clearout on my day off and realised we still have this foldable one even though we inherited myfolks roofbox.
£30
NABIYE Car Roof Bag Waterproof,... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09T34CMH9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareI like it. Obvs it takes a bit more thought to fit than a plastic one, but straightforward and importantly it packs down. We used it in torrential rain one Xmas it everything was aok inside.

Just to add to Will's experience.
- Levi's commuter jeans
- Rapha shorts
- Zara chino jean thingys with a decent amount of lycra.
The common denominator here is fabric with lycra and stretch to it. Anything majority cotton is going to get fucked. It is the worst possible of all. Materials for a cyclist's gooch.

- The presidental pardon is a ridiculous concept
- Biden Jnr is clearly dodgy af, has leveraged his dad his whole life, and his unbelievable privilege is a stark contrast to the rest of America
- Pardoning his son is yet another eg of nepotism and is a real low point for America and the concept of public service.
- Empathising on a personal level or thinking "what would you do?" is a separate point. Yes they've had so much tragedy, and I feel for them. And yeah I'd probably do the same.
- This is minor compared to Trump S1 and probably nothing on what will come in S2.
- The idea that this makes any difference to anything is ridiculous. The country is totally morally bankrupt with an idiot majority.
- None of these points are mutually exclusive.

Wheelbuilding thread might be a better place to ask

Sorry I guess you won't know that.
We used to live in a place with bulbs around the bathroom mirror and I've got to say I really liked it for shaving and general grooming.
Also I thought you were having a laugh with your description, but genuinely wtaf?!
This lamp is like a pearl necklace that bejewels your bathroom.

Japanese quince flowers are starting to come out. Only had a couple at a totally random time last year, so quite looking forward to it flowering properly. I put a bit of general flower fertilizer a few weeks ago then some mulch. Idk if that could have helped.
Needs another wire above. A bit of a trim and shaping wouldn't go amiss, but I held off expecting to take cuttings then not getting round to it.

The twenty quid or so ones seem fine. No use outside and not great in bright light
I wish I'd known this as I've use mine a bit outside and it's very tricky. I read somewhere the green ones are better - which is what I went for, but Idk if that's true. That said I don't use it that often and my £15 aliex jobbie has been absolutely fine for everything indoors.
All that to say @Sheppz if you're buying primarily for an outdoor project you may have to spend a bit more, and check for that in reviews.

Controversial but I think you should leave it well alone unless you can get it done in leather.
Fabric looses the luxury element.
