    OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Thread

    Not an expert, but the way they shoot the scene makes it look like something from Renaissance Fair. Compare to the Blackwater Bay fights, the siege of the Wall, or even Hound vs Brienne, its certainly is disappointing

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    Examples of cost savings: Shoemakers invented rand/welted shoes to make their shoes more serviceable and thus lower total cost of ownership for their customers. You adjust ready-made plastic lasts for your bespoke works as you believe it can achieve the same best results as building a last...

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    On one hand, you claiming best makers are looking for ways to make their work better. On the other hand, you claiming the shoes made 100 years ago have finer and better work, 64spi and the ilks. These two claims of yours do not reconcile. You can go on all day harping about best your...

    OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Thread

    They need some epic **** to make up the trauma done in the first episode. And they need to get some fighting coordinators and cameraman from Hong Kong. Sword fights this episode is borderline sad like the sand snake ****** fights.

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    Revealing makers is detrimental to those with commercial interests but highly beneficial to potential customers. There are not many who is in the trade and wiling to dis or critique other makers in a public forums tho there are certainly bad bloods between them. Besides, short-cuts and cost...

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    I have preference set to 100 posts per page in case you are wondering. And I've never mentioned EB in this thread before today. So stop spinning your damn lies. You put words in my mouth, lie about me bringing EB to the discussion, and now flat out deny and trying to spin and cover. Good job...

    Oh really? First you speak for me. Now you are smearing and flat out losing memories of what you've said. Here's some quotes all from this current page just to remind you what you've wrote and questions you've dodged.

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    Thanks for putting words in my mouth but no thanks. I didn't bring EB into the discussion. Zapasman brought it up, and you crit hit this thread with a wall of text rant talking about best practices while dodging the question shoemaking economics as if economics is never a concern with...

    My previous two posts are facts, excluding the claim of Musk needs more people drinking his koolaids. Or if I missed anything, please point out which part of my arguments is pessimistic or conspiracy theory-ish. Always looking to remove sentiment from my arguments. An example of investment...

    On sidelines for SCTY. Another Musk's genius business, of turning government subsidies into personal wealth. Larger scale commercial solar makers SUNE and Abengoa both filed bankruptcy. SCTY's retail cousin VSLR in the dumps as their white knight SUNE dies. SCTY can't even sell its 'solar...

    I am short AAPL and NFLX. AAPL, subsidies gone, replacement cycle lengthens, and the Chinese attacked with better phones at half the price. Both unit sales and margins will be under pressure. Risk to short is central bank buying equities. iPhone7 poses little risk to break the thesis. NFLX...

    Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."

    Block of text attacked. The answer is crystal clear if you consider EB, Vass, Meermin LM as manufacturers. And they are. And LOL @DWFII's ridiculous faulty logic again; it doesn't take an actual maker to understand and appreciate a craft.
