My husband has been slowly replacing stuff with Myles Apparel. He’s a weightlifter, so finding clothes that fit his quads (and allows him to still, you know, move) is a tall order. No ripping, tearing, funky workout stink, or any other issues so far! Also looks like they can ship internationally.
I really like Volcom shorts and pants. They tend to fit me a lot better (and with much greater consistency) than any other brand, even expensive ones. They’re pretty durable too. Nice that they’re not crazy expensive, but I also buy them from discount stores in the US for great prices. I never buy clothes at full price.
You could probably find Volcom clothes at skate shops in Europe. I have seen them on European online skateshops and stuff, if I’m remembering correctly.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time!! It’s my favorite anime movie and time travel movie. It wasn’t widely released in the US though so the dvd is EXPENSIVE.
The English part of Canada loves to act like it’s culturally distinct but what they watch, listen to and read is mostly American, to the point where Anglo Canadian production is so unpopular that the Canadian state media (TV, radio, online written content) might as well be two separate entities when you compare the quantity of original content in English vs French. French Canadians punch way above their weight in the amount of cultural content they produce basically just for themselves…
Politically it’s often said that Canada is the USA with a ~5 years delay…
You mean with the skip drives? Which books I the series have you read. There’s something about them that isn’t talked about until I think book 2. Definitely in 5.
I have to admit I read them probably 10 years ago, but the idea of returning to a planet (for the people on the planet) hundreds of years later and for you it feels like a month or so, stuck in my head.
I’m struggling to think of what part of the book you’re thinking of.
I’m on book 5 and 15 years have passed since the events of the first book. One of the characters says he’s 90, and they leave Earth when they’re 75. There’s no hundreds of years passing for anyone. The FTL travel is explained in a way without time dilation, but does have other side effects.
I’m being intentionally vague as Old Man’s War is one of my favourite book series and I enjoyed the reveal of the early plot points.
Hmm, maybe I’m confused with a different book, I’ll have to read them again. But as I remember that is where the “old man” comes from, him fighting a war that stretches for hundreds or thousands of years for the “empire”, yet only a lifetime for him.
Nope, totally different book series. In Old Man’s War, 75 year olds from earth are recruited to fight aliens in space. How the military makes use of old farts is the first plot point.
I thought it was pretty good, but maybe a little rushed in the scenes where he’s putting together what the drug is doing. Also, I saw this after seeing Spring and The Endless by the same writer/ director team and I really enjoyed those. If you haven’t seen them and liked Synchronic, I highly recommend both.
Just didn’t have the same feel to the movie. Maybe if you never seen the movie it might be better. I find most remakes fail without at least some original cast.
