is basque style usually firm, and the restaurant changed it to the Japanese style fluffy cheesecake?

I mean I ain't gonna turn it down either way.

oh man my decathlon bicycle freaking Rocked for 6 years until I sold it when I left the country, and those decathlon one second tents are still my favorite tents from any store.

extremely durable fabric, poles, webbing even zippers.

where are you getting higher quality equipment?

I visited every sports store I could while in Europe and the states comment I couldn't find anything as high quality as the products I used in decathlon.

I'm traveling again now, so I want to check out recommendations for a competitor.

"We were asked to always puncture old tyres, cut handles in half, etc. The watches case was infuriating to me: battery replacement was 5€, the same amount as a new basic watch."

man, that is CRAZY! do you think maybe that was just your store?

did you talk to employees at other French stores?

I can see how that would turn you off the brand.

[–] Varyk 1 points 1 week ago

thanks, I'm going to look up News archives and see what was going on a decade ago in France that might indicate worse quality there.

that's just about my heyday with decathlon, but I was in China. the quality across the stores there was consistent.

[–] Varyk 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

which country were you working at decathlon in?

I've been to them all over the world, and their manufacturing bases decentralized, so I'm wondering if one country has worse quality items than the others.

[–] Varyk 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

true, Aldi is the most impressive grocery store in the US(low bar, but still): better quality food, cheaper price.

I've similarly never been in a sports store with better quality items than decathlon, and I visit a lot of outdoor equipment stores.

[–] Varyk 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

can't believe you about better quality elsewhere, decathlon is absolutely my go-to sports store for any equipment, I've been using them for about 15 years without a single product that hasn't met or exceeded my expectations, and that's not smoke.

the first rucksack I ever bought still looks and feels new 15 years later, like not a single buckle has even broken, the hammock I bought lasted for a decade without any tears, and that is a super lightweight material, the day bags last for years, I don't think I've ever got something from decathlon that wasn't great.

shoot I've only worn decathlon quick dry ripstop pants for the past 15 years haha, I love them.

I did try a couple different brands while I was visiting the states, but North face and Columbia quick dry ripstop pants are dog shit compared to decathlon products.

shoot I still have the sleeping bag I bought with the rucksack, haha.

"sometimes they were throwing away some products but always smashed them (like, with a hammer) "

well that sounds bananas.

"creatures that only exist in fiction?"

Why are you asking me?

"Like your comments?"

Kid, the lines of reality are clearly blurred for you, but these comments are happening right now. They are not fiction.

I pity you, sincerely. You must have a difficult life.

"yeah but we aren’t talking about emmigration"

There you go! I just have to keep repeating the same thing and knew you'd eventually catch on. Spelling notwithstanding.

'They don’t allow you to emmigrate."

Not what we're talking about, remember there champ?

"but you also need a lot of paper work with whatever country you’re moving to"

Incorrect.

"if you’re homeless, you would be spending 0 money on cost of living, and therefore have SO MUCH MONEY."

What did...that's it.

Sweet summer child, homeless people in america without income make even less than your vaunted capitalists in America, again because the cost of living is so high. Homeless people with an income are not going to be saving any money. Because they don't have an income.

No wonder you thought dead people spend money.

Dude. Book. Read.

You're hopelessly lost.

You can also ask questions, so you stop sounding so ignorant.

Your comments are embarrassing to read.

Stop acting so scared. Ask some real questions. You can learn here.

"I didn’t post the differences between passport and visa for your benefit."

Would have been foolish to.

"...three separate posts you choose to “nuh uh bro” me and not explain shit. "

I'm very specifically correcting your errors with real-time verifiable data. Which numbers or words don't you understand?

"I don’t know what to do with your ridiculous views."

Those are the facts, Jack.

"The facts surrounding immigration and employment in desirable countries is freely available and plainly place plenty of restrictions and barriers to meaningful long-term residency"

Long for a non-sequitir.

"It’s designed to be hard."

Well, it isn't.

"But mostly, If immigration, residency, and employment in foreign countries was cheap and easy like you say..."

didn't say that.

You're making things up and drawing false conclusions from your make-believies.

It's very easy to travel indefinitely and save money immediately doing it for native English speakers.

Try to sound out the words when you read them, it'll help.

'...everyone would fucking be doing it all the time"

the brave and smart ones are. Not to toot, but toot toot.

"I’m done with you."

You did get wrecked, slow learner but wise to quit while you're behind.

 

spoiler

It is very creepy when the ant begins turning Cassie, but it's downright horrifying when the Buffalo begins to learn how to speak while it's morphed into chapman.

That is so yikes that it makes perfect sense. They have to fry him at the end.

Yikes.

They really get at some horror here.

Ax gets a big ol' crush on

spoilerA genocidal sort of asshole.

Still, the heart wants what it wants.

This is a great book, testing ax's loyalty again.

A very good example of people insisting they're doing some necessary thing for the greater good by becoming the thing they're fighting against.

The characters and their Dynamics were very interesting in this book, non-stop action.

 

And the tiny desk concert after you watch this video and you're like oh my God they're f****** amazing.

I remember this book because as soon as you realize that Jake is gone, you're like oh shit.

Wow! This book is really good, dealing with leadership and Marco's criticisms and how poorly Rachel deals with the leadership she thought she wanted,

spoilerand then the absolutely batshit insane plan at the end that foreshadows Rachel's final act.

I also never understood why the garatron looks so much like an andalite.

Are they just like hey isn't evolution weird? This one thing looks like another thing but they're not the same thing.

I don't get why that was so important.

Also, I was so glad that Jake spoke with Rachel shortly at the end of the book. Perfect ending.

Since I learned the word estreen, the andalite word for an extremely talented morpher, I searched for fanart based on that and found some interesting stuff.

Beautifully colored, is this oil painting?

Artist is artbyLars

Update: Estreen! That's the word. Found it!

An exceptionally talented morpher is an estreen! I knew there was a word for it.


I can't find the word.

Isn't there a specific andalite word for how good Cassie is at morphing?

Artist - iara catunda

 

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

Thanks. it's fine if nobody knows the answer to this or has not seen the movie, it's not a very good movie.

Yikes, I only remembered one scene from this book, and somehow managed to forget

TitleThe Atlanteans slicing open living humans and aliens to harvest their organs in the blood and sowing them back up into mummies.

Pretty hardcore.

And there's some cute Tobias Rachel back and forth.

Man, I wanna morph an orca.
