Ogio. I have 5 or 6 bags including some luggage. All have held up for 10s of years. Recently the luggage (7 years old) had a zipper break and Ogio just replaced it no questions asked.

Thermometer from my deployment to Iraq in 2008. Pretty sure that day we were over 130F. I have to do some more digging but I believe I have a photo of one over 140F.

Anything metal becomes burn your skin hot in just a few minutes. Exposed skin is very uncomfortable almost immediately.

Can confirm hair dryer weather at those temps.

I think part of this that I'm not seeing talked about, and perhaps confused for "more tech savvy users", is just the user hostility of Windows.

9 times out of 10 when a Linux app or game crashes I get a verbose error and more often than not one that I can simply copy and paste.

9 times out of 10 when Windows, or much of windows software, crashes it gives some random number or code and in a window I can't even copy and paste out of.

My skill level doesn't change. Linux just isn't user hostile in nature making it easy to search for fixes and report issues. Where as on windows I can't summon the care or effort to manually transcribe the error so I can then do something with it.

Did you read the thread you just replied to? Most of the internet, hundreds of millions (probably trillions but I'm being conservative) of servers, all run Linux. Linux is a minority on desktop computers, yes, but it's a majority of computers on the planet. For every one or two computers an individual might have there are a multitude of servers (that's not just base servers but all the virtual servers, docker containers, IOT, and mobile devices). 10's of these per person if not hundreds. All linux. Your argument that it's a smaller user base is patently false. You're using linux right now and don't even know it.

 

Some time ago I ordered UA Authentic Wide C 2.0's in Green but via the Customs creator. I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly. That said green doesn't go with everything. Is there some way to find wide Vans on the regular website or are doing customs the only way to find the 11W I need? If I go to men's shoes they only show 11 and 11.5 in the filter but no wides.

I'm hardly an artist as evidenced by my totally unoriginal green shoe with white trim. It would be nice if I could just browse some awesome looking shoes designed by someone else, but that I know will fit me.
