      Yeah, @madmonday, I guess I was having a bit of a moment.  Part of it is probably projection on my own strange build.  I'm 5'9" but am much more leg than torso apparently as I typically wear a 32.5" to 33" with some break or slight stacking.  I've had issues over the last few years finding denim that fits in both the waist, thigh, knee etc.  I recently rediscovered how much I love the 634 cut when I won the auction for the sample 634SBG's.  They've been my go-to pair for the last 3-4 months and they're aging wonderfully and fit the way I like.  I should really get some pics uploaded when I get home from work…

        Having seen the 634SBG from @Clint_D in the flesh, I would attest to the need for photos - they are unreal

          it was a good unpop op, and it is the point of the thread

          the thread is like the rants thread, except rants go on without much dialogue, unpop ops are fun because it's a bit more back and forth.

          best part is no one is trying to change or bash other folks ops, just give their take on the same subject, item, etc. and keep it moving

          believe it or not this forum has been super good for my empathy, hahahaha cue emo music

          back to unpop op, hahaha

                That is a perennially unpopular opinion.

                    At risk of being slightly political, I think that politics has become increasingly polarised on all sides, and those on the extremes of their respective parties have tended to set the agenda.

                    I don't know what the solution is. 😞

                      Especially when the sticking point (from both sides) is the future, health and welfare of children (moral not political opinion).

                        Agreed to the gentlemen above. I can’t believe we are in the current situation. It’s downright shameful and embarrassing.

                          Agree with Clint. I’m fkn embarrassed. Special interest groups such as insurance companies control my government. I’m furious actually. Not embarrassed.

                            Well, it's sorta only a "partial" shutdown.  Workers deemed "essential" will continue to work, without pay.

                            That way, citizens/voters are less affected and the political gamesmanship can continue without any check on its irrationality.

                              funny.  imagine telling people to work for no pay because the job they do is essential (dangerous and life-threatening)
                              aLso people on leave for whatever reasons are required to come to work because during a shut down there is no leave or days off even if sick or a death in the family or a tree falls through your house cause that's the way it goes

                              while the elected officials making decisions continue with their pay and lifetime benefits

                              the stress this causes on the regular working folks is insane and i didn't even get into the contractors and other folks who are government employees but basically screwed over while this is going on

                              oh and we haven't even touched on the lack of guidance in these government agencies because of the clear nepotism which i thought was supposed to be illegal in appointments

                              serenity now, serenity now

                              want some fun reading?  look at this https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/m-18-05-Final.pdf

                              okay i'm done

                              damn it i said to myself i would not comment on this stuff as i have way too much involvement to really be objective

                                Right… all Members of the house and senate continue to get paid regardless of the shutdown. Criminals

                                        My wife is also one of the "essential" employees so she has to work on Monday knowing that she won't see a paycheck for the foreseeable future.

                                          You're just saying that because functioning without a government is one of the few things Belgians are good at.

                                            Depending on how the pay periods are set up, she should get at least one more. My wife and I will get paid this Fri even if the Govt is shut down.

                                            I don't know about you guys, but it's not "essential" employees, it's "exempt".
