The book is so good, I don't know if I wanna see the movie.

Black mesa is worth it, full price. I played both the OG and black mesa back to back. Fantastic game!
Sweater weather. I already didn't like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.
And the orange menace's POS daughter is attending, as icing on the cake.
It's interesting to see other people rock them with a slightly different look. Little bit wider in the chest and riding slightly higher on the hips.
(Btw, thank you for finding these!) <3
Oh yeah, I've bought non unisex clothing before and I'm used to the different cuts. That's just the world we live in! Sometimes you get baggy spots where your hips are thinner, or narrower in the chest.
I cannot believe the average person spends over 2,600€ on an ebike. Mine was a bit over 1,100€ and I've put 3,200km on it in a year. Good ebikes shouldn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
Interesting ratings, some of these seem more progress-based than who has the best overall infrastructure. That said, I'm really happy to see cities like Paris and Manhattan on here, who have made big strides to work on being better about micromobility and pedestrian safety. The more large cities deploy protected bike lanes, the more smaller cities and towns will get inspired and follow them.
Especially cities/towns that forbid their DOTs from traveling to transit conferences to hear how cities like Montreal and Vancouver pulled off their rail and bike infrastructure on a lower budget.
Oh yeah, no worries buying from the women's section. They get all the fun clothes that guys can also look cute as hell in. One of my buddies got some shortalls from the women's section and looks great.
Chubbies has some shorts that are currently out of stock, but come in many sizes and colors. https://www.chubbiesshorts.com/products/the-khakinators-2-originals?Size=L
I ended up going with some shorts from Huckleberry just to test the waters and have something immediately, I found 5" dark green chinos, not unlike the model above. Unfortunately no D-ring closure, but still close.

Thank you for the tips and terminology! I'll keep up the hunt for good tops to pair with these shorts.
I think you might have hooked me up. I might need to wait on a restock, but the two inch inseam ones are awfully close to what I was looking for. The greens are a little longer, but not by much :)

I'll look into that, thank you!
Gearing, tires, and geometry make all the difference in the world.
My Transition Sentinel is only geared for mountain biking. It's a terrible city bike. Tons of shock, high torque gears for steep hills, cannot go very fast. But it's insane when you need to climb or descend mountains. It has knobby, 2.4in tires.
My city bike is an ebike, and even though it's a single speed, it's pretty comfortable going between 10-30mph on that gear alone. The battery allows me to haul lots of groceries or baggage (and climb steep hills), and it's tires are wide enough to not get stuck in tram rails or gaps in the concrete road. I have knobby tires to avoid popping tires, but smoother, thinner tires will be more efficient.
Edit: if you have a shock, try locking it out if it has lockout.
I'd also recommend checking out city bikes, such as road, gravel, and upright bikes. There's an incredible amount of diversity, and a downhill mountain bike is about as far from a road bike as one can get. One can roll over a rock the size of a watermelon, the other can coast for meters off of a pedal stroke. Ebikes also are phenomenal as car replacements (or even just as car offsets), but generally cost $1,500+ with tariffs.
