When I said "No rules for anyone", that was an aspiration, a goal to be achieved. That's how I read it and how I am trying to live my life, except I fall back into "rules to guarantee everything works together". As with everything, life isn't perfect, and I always love to focus ...

Women have been doing it for a very long time and it’s great that men are slowly starting to do the same albeit in small numbers. Is this really true though? I agree they have more latitude in what’s accepted and a wider variety of choice, but it would seem to me that women have their own set rules...

Fashion freedom has to mean what it says, men have to be free to try anything and if that includes looking foolish on occasion, so be it!

I agree completely.

As an occasional wearer of a denim skirt, which has taken me considerable time and effort to achieve, I consider some of the views expressed in this thread to be judgmental and somewhat offensive. I wear denim and denim-adjacent fabric skirts quite often, don't sweat it...you're not the only one! 8...

The point that I was making was not that there are not existing skirts on the market that can't work. Rather, there is a substantial possibility space for garment designs that nobody is exploring at the current time. Learning how to sew gives you the freedom to experiment without being constrained ...

I've bought many a skirt I'm too afraid. The reasons for not wearing them vary, but are all along the lines of "too flashy" "too bright" "too out there". I have a few that are bodycon which I've been meaning to add panels to the sides to make them looser. One of the &qu...

say that I decide what masculinity means to me. After all I am a man. Which puts me a right place to decide. 100% Soft frilly skirt, white tights, heels and long curly hair? Define your own masculinity. When people say that was then. It just means they refuse to give up their own vision of a man an...

I noticed that the wife was watching a film where the majority of the cast were wearing unbifurcated garments. Turns out it was Gods of Egypt -apparently the film is a bit of a turkey, despite featuring some well respected talent. I just watched this as background noise on and was surprised at the ...

Had the same problem today as well.

The unisex part did not come across to the man in the street. I never really saw this as the point of their product - that is to be seen as unisex on the street. Rather, men's - or men's-adjacent skirts have to be sold by retailers at some point. Unisex - though some here dislike that term and I fi...

I've purchased three from them, and wear them occasionally.

It sounds like the highest speed is actually close to a resonance point of the entire system (motor, shaft, impeller, set-screws, and mountings), which is going to magnify the problem. Changing the rotational speed (to get away from a resonance point) may mitigate the issue to a tolerable level so ...

I didn't ask about the fuel line - but this is not the first company that worked on the furnace (we've had many). I don't think they are a requirement in our area? Gosh I don't want to write this out but we just don't have earthquakes. As for dropping things - noooooo I've been super careful with ev...

So am currently at an impasse. Had the HVAC techs over... they agreed motor noise/vibration was unusual, told me to have it replaced along with the wheel. He did make one change - wired the highest speed to air conditioning and the next highest speed to heat (before, heat and cooling were both the h...

And yes - I made sure that the flat and set screw were tightened against each other properly.

The only reason I included that was that I committed that gaffe a long time ago and learnt from the mistake.

No problem - always good to hear a suggestion!
