  • I have wide feet due to bunions and struggled for a long time to find comfortable shoes, until I found the brand Lems.

    Lems are a zero drop, wide toe box brand and it was amazing to finally find shoes that didn’t make my feet hurt in any way. They have 3 different lasts, and the product page for each model will say which last it uses. I specifically buy their “widest last” for comfort.

    If you’re looking for a boot style, I love my Lems Boulder Boots and they’re my daily wearers during the colder months. They make a few different versions with different types of outsoles.




  • We had a very similar experience. Our cat’s eyes were green, but one of her eyes slowly started to darken and change pigment over the years. We would keep bringing it up to our vet who told us it wasn’t cause for concern.

    Eventually that eye was deep dark brown, so we went to a different vet for a second opinion and they immediately said “that eye has to come out” and referred us to a veterinary cancer specialist.

    We had her eye removed and while we were nervous and felt guilty about it, it was a huge success. Our cat perked WAY up after recovering from the surgery and you’d swear she was a kitten again despite being 11 years old.

    She adapted quickly and the one eye doesn’t seem to impact her hardly at all.


  • I had a similar situation as you. I got a prescription later in life in my late 20s after never wearing glasses before. One eye had a stronger prescription than the other.

    It took me about 5 days of daily wear to fully acclimate to the prescription. Each day got better than the last, but I definitely felt like you are describing on day 1.

    It isn’t a fun process but it will also feel better and your eyes will feel much less strained with the prescription, so it is ultimately worth it.







  • Adding work into the shower would diminish it’s idea generating powers.

    The reason we are able to come up with good ideas in the shower is that our mind isn’t otherwise occupied by doing anything else. We aren’t on our phones, watching TV, having a conversation, or working. Our mind has no obligations and the act of cleaning yourself doesn’t require much mental load. So our mind is free to drift and think freely about whatever it wants. We don’t have many similar times of distraction-free brain freedom in our modern lives.

    Add in a task like taking a meeting, and now you’ve removed that key no thoughts head empty feature of showers that leads to the brain blast.







  • I’ve been a big Borderlands fan for 10+ years. I played through the first one multiple times and loved it. My wife and I bonded over BL1 when we first started dating.

    Was super excited for BL2, and have played it many times throughout the years.

    But the pre-sequel was a let down, and BL3 felt soulless and lacked the same spark as BL2.

    Tiny Tina Wonderlands was great, and felt like a return to what made BL2 so fun.

    All that to say, I don’t have high hopes for BL4, nor will I be paying $80 for it. It just feels like they’re coasting off the brand name at this point and trying to exploit longtime BL players like myself.


  • On foldables like the Samsung fold series, is the taskbar supported in this launcher?

    I used Nova on standard slabs, but nova doesn’t support foldables. And I haven’t found a third party launcher that still allows me to use the (super useful) taskbar on the inner display.

    If Octopi supports that, I’ll switch today!

    I tried a handful of the DIY ball vape options, and I still have (and use regularly) a HLT/Highlighter from RedEyeFlightControl.

    While performance of ball vapes is definitely high, I just have found I don’t really enjoy them all too much (with the HLT being the exception). I also think that the proliferation of ball vapes has made the vape industry feel dull and boring, as every ball vape design is almost exactly the same as every other one.

    Compare that to the Herborizer, which really does its own thing design wise. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the Herborizer design both aesthetically and functionally. Does the Herborizer extract as fast as insert-desktop-ball-vape-here? No, definitely not. But I enjoy the process of using the Herborizer far more.
