I'm not sure there's a limit. I think Giles mentioned once that he has over five thousand.

Computer savy folk, my roommates and I seem to have lost the ability to access flickr.com from within my home network. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? I've been puzzling through it and tried a few things, but to no avail…

Thanks EMQ. So far looking like shitty Flickr ad server, connectivity looking good. Mind you, your DNS server didn't/doesn't have the entries cached. I suggest manually setting your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 for faster browsing in general…
For Flickr, using Chrome, Open a blank tab, then go View > Developer > Developer Tools. Click the "Network" box/tab thingy down the bottom. At that point type in flickr.com, hit enter. You'll get a timeline loading, look for the longest part of the timeline, maybe take a screenshot of it. That will show exactly where it's spending it's time..

Anyone have both Tricker's and Viberg boots? I'm curious if I'd be the same size in the Tricker's Stow as I am in the Viberg Service Boot.

Dose this seller have a good rating or bad rating for this site? "4.17 out of 5 stars" In EBay less than 97% is trash rating… :-\ New to this site though. Just not sure…

Not that high, but I don't know that it much matters if you're outside of Japan, as returns are kind of off the table anyhow.

Both my Trickers Stow and Malton are UK 10, fitting 5, and I'm a UK10E in my Viberg 50's Service boots (310 sprung toe last), Engineers (also 310) and Smokejumpers (160 last). There's slightly more room around my toes in the 310 last, but it's in keeping with the boots and both Trickers are a much closer fit, similar to dress shoes.
