  • Yay a question just for me. Okay so you’re going to want to try a couple things. First give them a good spray of just regular Lysol or adjacent, the idea is first eliminating anything living that might grow back. The next is a product from Lincoln called EZ cleaner. Take the cleaner a few drops of a dish detergent and hot hot water and scrub it into every surface. Then take a rag to blot at the surface a bit. Once they are dry you’re going to take a similarly stiff dry brush and brush them all over with the intent of both making them fuzzy again as well as freeing the dirt that has come to the surface during the cleaning process.

    If that didn’t work and it’s probable it won’t try a few more times. If that still won’t work you might need new Birks or perhaps have a cobbler like me replace the footbeds if you are particularly attached







  • The Thrawn book trilogies are probably the closest I’ve found to Star Wars being sci fi. There is a specific focus on real world physics in a way that is very absent from everything else Star Wars especially when they write about space battles. Only things that stay firmly fantasy and require that suspension of disbelief are, of course, the Force and Thrawns preternatural ability to read an enemy’s battle tactics from their species artwork






  • I had the same thought for a while, then I started playing dnd and subsequently DMing. Now any extra mental bandwidth I did have goes to solving open-ended people problems my players give me while we’re playing.

    Side benefit is I’ve felt more empathetic and patient with people since starting because I have to constantly put myself in a character’s head when we’re role-playing. I imagine that makes one seem more personable and cool to be around possibly helping with the unemployment too
