  • Im in my 30s and use one daily. I dislike having to tie laces every day and i can slip my feet into my shoes (while perma-tied) like butter.
    Yes the laces are slightly looser than a fresh re-tie but not uncomfortably so or slopping around when i walk.

    I wear faily flexible everyday shoes though, would not reccomend this technique with rigid leather dress shoes or work boots which need to be tied every time.




  • I think its to do with the subject of the sentence.

    The subject of sentence 1 is happy accidents, and he is describing it as a ‘happy’ accident because its turned out in a pleasant way, as opposed to something like “frustrating little accident”.

    Sentence 2 the subject is angry intent, like he is behaving in a way that is focused by angry emotion, and in this case ‘big’ is the modifier that is giving you a scale of how intense the emotion is.

    Note: I am in no way an english or language authority, just how i think my brain is handling the structure of those sentences and the order that feels ‘right’.


  • I think you can trace a lot of these problems back to legislation and the classification of work vehicles which receive bigger tax/incentives and going bigger and bigger is continually more beneficial to car manufacturers as increasing the size and cost of the standard car is their way of profit growth. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of safety, road conditions, infrastructure space/costs, the environment and consumer costs.

    Climate town has an excellent video where they explain how the American SUV became so dominant and pushed this kind of thinking from car manufactures practically all because Jeep was failing and lobbied to change the laws so they could sell cars (obviously a huge oversimplification)
