Unfortunately that means a limited sole life and no ability to re-sole. I still tried to like 'em, but I got a pair that had one whole side of the vamp stitched on with no inside thread. Just empty loops of the outside thread interlocking with nothing.

Replacement pair was murder on my pinky toes. Narrower in the toe box than Docs, with a significant ridge from the glued on welt.

I ended up giving them away.

Jim Green boots are a good option, particularly for wide toe box in some of their lasts. No shops for trying on though. But they are made with quality leather, and they contribute to a good cause.

Their boots are made with stitch-down construction, which can be resoled by any cobbler.

PS: rice can go bad in a way that does not smell or look like anything, it continues being white.

Fun fact - the bacteria commonly associated with food poisoning from rice (bacillus cereus) produces several toxins that make you sick. And those toxins are heat stable. So rice that was at an unsafe temperature for hours is not safe to eat even if you reheat to a "safe temperature". It can still make you sick.

Botulism is similar in this regard. 🌈⭐

If you do have the smart PSU and power management server you probably also went down the rabbit hole of scripting the power cycling, right? Maybe made that server hardened against power loss disk corruption so it can be run until UPS battery exhaustion.

What if there is a power outage and NUT shuts everything down? Would be nice to have everything brought back up in an orderly way when power returns. Without manual intervention. But keeping you informed via logging and push notifications.

It seems to me that the preposition usage corresponds to the boarding language pretty closely. Where "on" sounds most natural is also where "boarding" seems most appropriate.

Here is one linguist's take, with proposed usage cases at the end: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/005224.html

The schedule/route condition makes a lot of sense to me. Consider a bus converted to personal use as an rv:

"I boarded my bus and drove to the mountains" is a valid English sentence, but it sounds odd to me. But if it's still a regular bus and drove->rode it works.

"I drove to the mountains in my bus" sounds better. Same vehicle as a city/school bus, different context. Change to a regular bus and drove->rode doesn't sound right without also changing "in my" to "on the".

16.1? Isn't that still alpha? I thought the latest public release was 16.0?

Not entirely sure since I'm on Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
