And if they to split seams or have a sole problem, a shoe repair place can get them back in order for less than a new pair!

If you want good boots that won’t break right away, look at work boots.
I go for the classics like Dr. Martens and Justin Ropers. They look good and are tougher than nails. Also, they don’t tend to mess you about with valid returns.

All of Doyle’s Holmes stories are available in a single collection on Audible, read by Stephen Fry.
It’s never too late to enjoy the source material!

(Also, I think it’s on sale at the moment.)

Anything?

True, but I don’t really do any low-acidity canning, so it’s a moot point.

As a parent, i think it is perfectly natural that I want my kid to have a good education. But I want my neighbor’s kid to have a good education, I want the kids two towns over to get a good education, I want ALL the kids to have access to a good education.

I’ve seen a couple of burst Instant Pot pics on the internet. The worst damage I saw was from one “hopping” on a composite countertop and cracking it. While I wouldn’t want to be standing right next to it, you’re unlikely to have a major explosion like with the stovetop type. They don’t reach as high a pressure as…

For the smell, I just bought a couple of spare gaskets. One is for pungent foods, one is for meats and one is for plain grains/desserts...they’re color coded for my convenience. It cost about $15.

I always turn the nozzle upside-down after the pump is off to get that last bit of gas out of it before removing it from the car. Otherwise you’ve got a from few drops to a couple of ounces still in there. I paid for that gas, I’ll be danged if I let it just evaporate.

Living, training and working together would…

Wakanda is FICTIONAL? Then where the heck did I go in my gap year?
Next you’re going to tell me that Svitz doesn’t exist either.

Piranha Cove? Someone didn’t get the memo that there are NO piranha in Africa.

He can write a catchy tune, but the music doesn’t usually develop much. e.g. The Empire Strikes Back.
“How can we make this space chase scene more exciting?”
“Play the same music, but faster!”
I get that scoring a movie is done under tremendous time constraints but just a bit more variation in key parts would be nice.

I had to double-check it wasn’t one of my younger brothers. That’s exactly why we never played board games in my house.

Yeah, except for the fact that they would be constantly be stopping to argue about what to do about the various antagonists in the story. I’m sure their approach to dealing with You-Know-Who would involve their foreheads and various pieces of his anatomy.
This supposes they got past the opening chapters...I’m sure they…

That’s why I like the cross-in-the-back or cobbler smock style aprons.
Yes, I look like a peasant out of a Bruegel painting or my granny, but they stay put and have pocketses.

Seriously, out of curiosity I looked at pictures of this girl and in every single one of them she’s got the tell-tale streaks of bad contouring.

“Tainted seed...” now I’ve got that song stuck in my head and HOLY CRAP, *THIS* IS THE VIDEO?
