What does the top look like?

I hope it doesn’t! I hope they see it or hear of it and are intrigued. Maybe they wonder if something exciting is going on there, and want to check it out.

Idk yet, but they’re probably resulting from a leak from the elemental plane of water, or a leyline nexus or something there and water magic is stronger there and so there is a flotilla of wizards trying to study it under the harsh conditions. Or it could be a hole in the world and somewhere else there is a big whirlpool, and the wrecks get spit out at the top of the water mountain and there is a whole culture of salvagers who explore the turbulence and dive for treasures. Maybe an empire of sea elves has been magically growing it for decades with the intention of using it as a weaponized tsunami so they can raid and conquer farther inland. I love irl conspiracy shit like this that asks more questions than it answers, because in a fantasy setting the answers get to be cool.

Yo I think I gotta add this to my D&D campaign setting

Dirty girl is the brand, they are ankle gaiters that work with most trail running and low to mid height hiking boots. They do a pretty good job of keeping dust and rain out of your shoes from the top, and them only being ankle height means they are both lighter weight, and nicer when its hot out, but offer less protection if it is really cold and rainy.

They’re olive drab color, so fab to be drab is probably just some branding speak for that.

It might be going stale, my cat is always super excited for the first few meals out of a new bag.

Why’d the melons have an expensive marriage?

Because they cantaloupe.

I’ve had the non internet connected one for a few years, and overall I like it a lot. There’ve been a couple of maintenance issues, but all in all I was able to fix them myself with youtube tutorials.

Mine tends to go about a week and a half to 2 weeks between emptying it out, and it does smell a bit by 2 weeks. I’ve thought about rigging it up to have a larger bin, but then I’d have to carry a larger bag of refuse out.

What kind of climate are you in? Is your outside winter snowy, or rainy, or something else?

In my experience leather will shape and take on your feet’s shape more, and synthetics will stay truer to their starting fit. Resoleable is good and frugal, if there is a cobbler around that can resole them, if you’ll have to mail them out it can start to make a bit less sense. I’ve liked the redwings, danners, and asolos that I’ve had, but try them on! My feet are not your feet!

Whatever you get, try them on with the socks you intend to wear with them, big wool ones if it gets real cold in your neck of the woods. Treat them! If you are dealing with snow and grit and salt you need to treat them,and probably more fequently than you might expect. I’ve used Nor-v-gen, and nikwax, and a few others before and haven’t had one that felt it stood up particularly better.

To my mind, that could work, the barb might not be helpful since the material might not flow quite as readily back over it as soft tissue does, but you could get an angled insertion and pretty easily get direct upwards lift with it maybe.

You might be able to fit a fish hook in down the side between the broken stem and the switch, and use the barb to pull out the stem.

To improve this method, stick the needle in at an angle, and then lift straight up and out (not along the angle of insertion, or lever it out. This way you can get it to come out even if it is poorly or not adhered to the needle.
