Whatever the reason for the sleepy starts, it’s now fair to label them as a trend. The Sixers’ bench was on fire as a whole in the second as the team began the quarter 9 for 9 from the field and scored 44 points in the period. A fast-break and-one from Oubre put Charlotte up 34-23 and it appeared the Sixers could be in a dangerous spot.Ī couple of three-pointers in the second quarter from Isaiah Joe, playing his first game since last Saturday, helped the Sixers quickly erase the deficit. Rookie JT Thor threw down a big dunk on Andre Drummond and also drained a three-pointer. However, the team’s second unit was outworked by the young Hornets late in the first period. The Sixers’ transition defense was an issue to begin the game, although the starters were able to stabilize things for a stretch. Nick Richards, Charlotte’s second-year replacement starter, scored six early points. Monday night was the fourth time in the last five games the Sixers have lacked first-quarter energy and fallen into a hole because of it.

With that said, the Grabber X3s aren't horrendously loud - they're not slapping the pavement or making a super loud howling sound or anything like that. If you want a quiet ride, especially on the highway, then you'll want to look at more of a hybrid terrain tire, or even an all-terrain tire if you're willing to give up some off-road capabilities. Read More: What Is The Difference Between All-Terrain and Hybrid Tires?ĭoes The General Grabber X3 Make A Lot Of Road Noise?Īfter running the Grabber X3 for a couple thousand miles, we can report that they are a bit noisy, but that's to be expected out of a mud tire. The X3 was actually built for the off-road racing industry, and began as what General referred to as a "red-letter" tire - the same technology that was used in Baja and short course off-road racing has been built right into the General Grabber X3, so you're getting that strong, reliable, durable construction out of a DOT-compliant, race-influenced tire. This also means that the General Grabber X3 is extremely resistant to sidewalk cuts and punctures, thanks to the different woven fibers that create it. But if you're aired down on the trail, you're putting a lot of pressure and stress on the tires, but they're still not going to come apart on you. The way the tire is manufactured and engineered gives it a super strong carcass, and that means that if you have a flat tire, for example, it'll still hold up, at least for a little while. Duragen is a blend of woven fibers which is three-ply thick in the sidewalls, and in the construction of the carcass of the tire. One of the biggest things that General talks about is the construction of its tire, known as Duragen Technology. So let's jump into it and see what the Grabber X3 can do.Ĭonstruction And Durability Of The General Grabber X3 Mud-Terrain The General Grabber X3 is a perfect, worthy option for everything from overlanding vehicles to work trucks, construction vehicles, and anything that will be heading off the road and needs a maximum traction tire to help them out, while also having decent on-road manners. And you do see a lot of them out there, so today we'll be breaking down how we like them, some of their best features, and how well they can handle themselves in the roughest off-road situations. One of the tires that we haven't had much time to talk about here at TrailBuilt is the General Grabber X3 Mud Terrain, and we're pretty excited about it - after all, it's synonymous with overlanders. ![]() Is The General Grabber X3 A Good Off-Road Tire?

Chill the cookie dough balls for 15-20 minutes before baking and that should help. If your cookies spread too much – It’s probably because there wasn’t enough flour or the butter was too warm.The surface of the cookies is supposed to be light and pale in color. How to tell when shortbread is done – As soon as the edges are lightly golden, remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.Scrape the bowl as needed – Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl at least once or twice, especially if you are using a stand mixer, so all of the butter gets evenly aerated.It should be able to hold its shape and still firm enough that if you press your finger into it, the impression is clean. Softened butter should still be cool, but malleable. It also might cause the cookies to spread too much in the oven. Properly softened butter – If your butter is too soft or warm, it will not be able to retain the air incorporated during the creaming process and the cookies won’t have that airy texture that whipped shortbreads are known for.Top with sprinkles if desired and bake in a 300F oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.Dip the tines of a small fork in powdered sugar and use to flatten the cookie dough slightly. Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar and roll the dough into 1″ balls (about a tablespoon each).Give a few final stirs by hand to gather the dough. Stir in the flour on low speed until just combined.Add in the vanilla extract if using and beat for another minute.

It’s always requested! Thanks for the recipe!!!” – Donna I’ve made it now a dozen times for every family gathering and holiday party. “Wow, these cookies just crumble and totally melt in your mouth! You can’t stop at just one. The vanilla and sprinkles are something I like to add, but they were not part of the original recipe, so it’s completely optional.

![]() “What he did with the suit was really very subversive,” says architect and designer Tim Campbell, who estimates he owns up to 300 Browne pieces. It’s a contradiction that gives a Thom Browne suit its tension, why it gets under so many people’s skin. It’s there that you can see the unifying, poetic force of it all – an item that acts as a means of connection, of community – while remaining a safe space for quirks to be exercised. The employees outside Browne’s own office door, clacking away at their computers, or pushing clothing rails gorged with samples are all wearing his grey suit, some with cut-off hems or the jacket tied around their waist. Have you ever spotted a person wearing Thom Browne out on the street or tucked into a crowded train carriage? It’s a startling thing. You have to do something that is so real to you – whatever it is.” “I think that’s really important for young designers to know, too. But through the sheer force of that belief, he has converted the rest of the world not just to his vision, but to his idea of sexy. He wears a version of the suit every day and requires his employees to do the same. “People understood it because they knew it was very real to me, I wasn’t trying to force something that I didn’t believe myself.” This belief, at times, borders on obsession. “It really was so easy to create the first grey suit because I was basically just making it for myself,” he says. “It was very easy,” he says with a twinkle. Especially considering he was trying to sell us a suit – a freaky one at that – just as Silicon Valley, Casual Fridays and the pandemic put an ostensible expiry date on that very thing. ![]() But even when we think we’re doing something classic, we have to be reminded, sometimes, that we’re pushing it.”īut how did this American rebel in a compressed suit push it? How did such a friendly-looking guy, who says you’ll find him home most nights with his partner and dog eating a takeaway and drinking champagne, strong-arm his way into the fashion enclave? To be the chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, no less. “I do feel like I am making… just very well-made, classic clothes. “Someone who’s been in fashion for 50, 60 years, one of those iconic people in fashion,” – (no, he won’t say who) – “and I told her, ‘You know, I just do really classic things.’ And she said, ‘Thom, this is not classic.’” He laughs. “I was with someone the other day,” he says. But even when we think we’re doing something classic, we have to be reminded, sometimes, that we’re pushing it.” ![]() (It’s safe to say that Browne’s prices, hovering at around 10 times Adidas’s, certainly wouldn’t confuse them.) The court ruled in Browne’s favour. They claimed Browne’s motif of four stripes on sweatsuits would confuse customers familiar with Adidas’s three. How serious is Thom Browne? Serious enough that Adidas took him to court over… stripes. How seriously should we take the grand maker of suits so truncated that they were once mentioned in the same breath as that of Pee-Wee Herman’s? Maybe ask Gildo Zegna, who oversees his family’s illustrious and very traditional fashion conglomerate, the Zegna Group, why he snapped up 85% of the brand back in 2018, valuing the company at a decidedly not-shrunken price of £400 million. ![]() New things, too, not merely slapping a logo on a hoodie and cashing in.
