One of my good runner friends (3000+ miles a year and owns 100+ pairs of shoes) is the biggest sketchers fans I know of. Apparently their good running shoes aren't even cheap anymore, like $110+.

I imagine these kids aren't wearing super shoes anyway, or else they would know the puma's are faster

Yeah, I always feel a little embarrassed to bring it up. I'm liking that there are more underground games coming out now like turnip28 and trench crusade, but they don't scratch the same itch in the same way yet.

The article really doesn't say anything about art papers or how hemp compares to cotton(rag) papers. It sounds nice, I'll try to buy some. But fine art papers and specialty papers being what they are, efficiency and price are much smaller concerns.

I've never written on hemp paper, I wonder what the differences are? Do different binders work better or worse with hemp? Is the bleaching process more or less intense? I'm coming at this more just curious about art papers that usually have high cotton content and how hemp would change them

Canada likes to play a little looser with the rules. I've seen how they re-forest by just planting millions of black spruce

The little ones were great for clearing snow off roofs and used the same batteries as the tools we used. But if you buy a big one now you've also got to Invest in a new battery ecosystem. Then you may as well buy an electric chainsaw and pole saw/weed whacker. And now does the entire ecosystem make sense to switch yet?

I think they will eventually make sense. Extra batteries are very heavy and expensive though (I only have experience with Husqvarna and Stihl)

Maybe I'll give it a try when it makes sense to buy a new one. For now the Stihl is still chooching

I work trails, carrying a bunch of batteries out into the woods would be awful.

I have come to love gas powered leaf blowers this past month. There really is nothing better for trail maintenance. If you have to clear a couple miles of trail a gas powered leaf blower makes it a literal walk in the park. Electric ones just don't have the kind of power that the backpack ones do and run out of battery too quickly. Or you have to rake the whole thing by hand which could take a day or two.

That being said in some areas you're not allowed to use a leaf blower (electric or gas).

He's trying to get us mad and become violent so he can declare martial law. He wants his opposition to look more like bad guys to his fan base.

USA is a country without kings, we don't want any.

We're protesting trump, but also his stupid military parade. We're trying to reclaim what it means to be an American.
