I just came to appreciate that I can wear whatever I want to work - within the bounds of good taste of course :).

Never really thought about that fact.

[Mizmazzle]

@RobeOfTheMagi same! It’s a privilege I do not take for granted.

I wear what I want most days. When I’m seeing a client or prospect I dress up.

My business wear is not an area of serious investment. I place more emphasis on casual stuff I wear on the daily.

Just ran across this post on the /rawdenim site and wanted to share.

Disclaimer. This occurred in October 2023. I’m making this post only and just only to share my experience upon Iron Heart performance as a bikers engineered jeans on a motorbike crash.

My buddies and I were driving back to our dorms on the interstate road at 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night when it happened. We were going around 60kmh then all of a sudden a black scooter from the opposite direction made a u-turn, crossing a 2 continuous yellow line in the middle of the road. Unable to weave or brake, I t-boned him. Launched into the air, I propelled 7 or more meters forward and landed on my right side of the body, I rolled around on the tarmac then finally laid flat on my back. I checked my neck and back, I can feel them and there were no pain so my friends picked me up and I stood. Felt like a huge blow on my right ankle but upon seeing not a single scratch on my jeans, I stepped. It was dreadful, massive pain suddenly coming out of my right ankle. Pulled my jeans up and turns out that it was broken. I was quickly sent to an emergency room in a hospital nearby, had an X-ray, and was found to have a complete fracture. No scratch, no chafing, no bruises on both of my legs, just a broken ankle.

Upon getting to a stable state, I checked my jeans and I was surprised to see that it wasn’t ripped or anything. I was trying hard to find the marks that were left from the crash, there were barely any. Just a slight contrast fade on the whiskers on the right.

I’ve read many from the community, Iron Heart official site and many discussion platforms that Iron Heart was originally made for bikers, designed to be durable and to some extent protective for motor bikers. It’s just astonishing how it performs on this crash, getting nothing but only a more contrast fade on the right whiskers, plus I didn’t get any wounds on both of my legs other than a broken ankle.

Iron Heart doesn’t just barks, it bites. It’s truly engineered for bikers. If you’re a biker and looking for something that is not only durable but also protective piece of trouser that is casual enough to wear off the bike, I highly recommend you to get an Iron Heart denim.

Haven't been posting much lately, as I have some troubling stuff going on which for sure will be sorted in due course.
But it's so awesome to have this place to check in every evening on what everyone is up to. Really some quality time I can spend on here!

[Mizmazzle]

@tody yeah buddy. It’s a wonderful place to connect with like minded rascals!! Wishing you the best with life’s twists and turns!!

[popvulture]

Hope you’re doin alright @tody !

[louisbosco]

@goosehd I've been t-boned around 40km/hr at a roundabout years ago in the 666UHR. same experience

[A Former User]

@tody good to hear you find some peace here i’ll hope you get it all sorted out and everything will be better

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I just found out that I can stilly olli the tail of a skateboard 3 inches off the ground after 18 years of no skateboarding, that really put a smile on my face :).

@RobeOfTheMagi Great feeling
Yesterday I realised I could still solve a Rubik's Cube after around five years of not picking one up, once you know how to do it, it's just muscle memory I guess!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@T4920 it’s the small things in life <3.

@T4920
What’s the secret my son has one that I had when I was a kid and I’ve never been able to solve it
Apart from the thought of heating the stickers up and moving them

[T4920]

@Brian
The most common method (which I'm confident that absolutely anyone can learn in 4/5 hours if they're so inclined) involves memorizing a sequence of 7 movements that can be used to incrementally put the coloured pieces in the rights patterns/places. Once you know these movements, and the order in which the patterns must be constructed, any combination can be solved with ease.

The method used by the 'pros' however, is a completely different story. They assign a numerical value to each of the nine pieces on each side of the cube, and conduct insanely complex mathematical equations to work out the minimum number of movements required to solve the puzzle.

I use the first method

A video guide like this is all you need if you wanna show off to your son!

[Brian]

To be honest I’ll let him watch it and show off to me
I still have nightmares from the electronic simon says game I had in the 80’s

[T4920]

@Brian I taught a kid on a flight once, he was 8 years old (ish).

Noticed him watching me solve mine, so offered to teach him how to do it.

Had it locked down in less than 2h!

@goosehd
“I t-boned him” is not a term I’m familiar with but too nervous to google for fear of what it throws up and my wife decides to check my search history!

@IrishHeart Taken from the internet:

A t-bone accident occurs when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, forming the shape of a “T” at the point of impact.
