Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?...
Wool socks help with odor control because of how they wick away moisture and although they advertise synthetic socks also being good at that they tend to get the stinky funk going on. Cotton just holds moisture and gets stinky too, but somewhere between the two.
If nothing else has helped and you are not already wearing wool socks, I would give that a try. A lot of brands do a blend of wool and synthetic so they might end up being stinkier than 100% wool. Wool is expensive, but holds up really well and is totally worth it.
I just caught that you live in Florida, and the humidity could be the issue. If you have a spare fan, putting the boots in front of it to circulate the air might help since the waterproofing means the only moisture exit is where your foot goes in. Doesn't need to blow into the boot, just across it so the air gets moved around.
That is awesome, since it has a thorough review process to ensure it only applies to couples who are in the same end of life situation and let's them go out together.
For one year, low-income families in Austin, Texas, received $1,000 a month to do whatever they wanted; they spent it on rent and “substantially" improved their situations.
Obvious outcome is obvious and in line with every other basic income study. Maybe someday we can have UBI to give everyone stability without needing to nitpick that it goes to the 'right people' with all the discrimination those types of systems end up with.

Most likely that the people who watched since Rotten Tomatoes was a thing knew what they were getting into or had fond memories from when they were younger.
Would have been different for exit audiences for sure.
It’s funny people talking about how things are done in the U.S. and giving different answers.
Yeah, different states have different requirements and processes.
In Kansas, when I got my original license in the 90s it cost like $60 total to get the first one and ever since it has been somewhere between 10-30 or so to renew every 6ish years or something. Originally you had to take a written test that you could fill in at home. Just ridiculously cheap and no real barriers. We also don't have any kind of emissions requirements for non-commercial vehicles. The lax requirements for driving and emissions is probably the result of the farming lobby.
Tone matters of course, since even a compliment can be inflammatory in the right context with the right tone.
What do you think would be more respectful than letting then know that you noticed them looking with an implication that they noticed something you missed?
I would say it is number of episodes more than just years, as a show with 20+ episodes per year will run out of the same number of ideas twice as fast as 10 per year, and the latter has more time available to think up and refine ideas.
I would say long running shows should be the exception to the rule, and all those shows that drug themselves out for whatever the syndication minimum was are the best examples moat things having a limited lifespan. Plus the number of years tends to lead to staff turnover and the people writing season 7 are most likely not the same as the ones who made the show successful in the first place.
They aren’t going to make this easy cause it quite literally means giving the shareholders less profit, which is illegal in the US.
Making less profit than previous periods of time or even operating at a loss is not illegal in the US. Many companies have periods where they lose money or sacrifice short term profits for long term growth.
Investors with enough control might boot the leadership out, but they can also do that for whatever reason including unrealistic expectations.
The worst part is that they act like you can set up an account without a number, but then it acts like there is 'suspicious activity' and requires you to verify with the phone immediately.
Just rant into this yesterday trying to set up a work account as my work phone is not a mobile phone with sms.
That is what the help files say, but when I tried to register a work account yesterday it did the verify you are human, then said there was something suspicious and sent the email verification, then said there was something suspicious and is now requiring a phone verification even though I did not enter a phone number.
At no point was I ever signed in and able to even pick a channel. This all happened while trying to log in for the first time through the browser at work with my work email. I guess that someone else might not hit that phone requirement as I only tried to do the registration once, but it is in no way limited to joining a particular channel.
