I just want basic running shoes that are $30/pair and will not change in any way for the next 40 years. Basically, I just want a pair of New Balance shoes on sale from joesnewbalanceoutlet.com for the good old price they used to offer 3 years ago. The only problem with them at the moment is they have raised the price floor to $40 and the style rotates too much. I just want the same stupid thing every time.

Some key features:

  1. a little rubber around the toe to keep the puddles out
  2. breathable top
  3. cushy bottom
  4. dont change

I hear a lot of this BIFL for shoes stuff. I have no intention of keeping my shoes longer than 6-9 months. At $30/pair, they are disposable. When I accidentally step in dog crap, they become disposable immediately.

I also have no interest in leather. Might last a long time, but for me it is like putting a ziplock bag on my feet and it turns into a swamp real fast.

Absolutely nothing other than voting. Any individual “reducing their plastic use” is just a drop in the ocean. The only meaningful change is through legislation or some economic situation. The only positive outcome of reducing your own plastic use is that warm and fuzzy feeling that you get from believing that you are doing something good.

However, I do not want to discredit that warm and fuzzy feeling. It brings people joy, and I think that is great.

I am using it for the flashlight. I hope to get fancy with a shortcut, but I don’t have one picked out yet.

I’m thinking maybe I will try it for my receipt scanning shortcut on a future business trip.

If I didn’t get a new phone every year I would likely not load a backup. It takes a bit more time when you just “sign in to icloud” and then go from there, but the phone feels a lot more “new”. Loading my old backup on a new phone just has too much familiarity in the way of app arrangement and whatnot.

As with any new phone, ensure all of your core apps work before resetting the old one. Often 2FA and stuff can get you in a catch 22 if you are not careful.

Fahrenheit is designed for humans. Celsius is in love with distilled water at sea level. Kelvin and Rankine are actually useful in math, science, and engineering.

This is a good analysis of concords failure and what may come in supersonic flight soon.

I installed the App Store version on my iPad so I could review it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Keeping the beta on my phone for the foreseeable future.

This post was mostly to connect the people who missed out on the beta.

You also were helping to point out the Memmy community. I should have linked that in the first place!

Here is the post you referenced:

Here is the community:

Loving this app (and a few others…), loving these communities

I always thought it was swipe, but slide makes more sense now that I think about it.

My profile is working on beta and App Store version. Maybe a server issue or maybe you just need to restart all.

I think you can jump back and forth. Get it on the App Store version just to give it a review! I did this on my iPad and kept my iPhone on TestFlight.

Try restarting the app after making the change.

No app or site is feature complete right now. I recommend also using wefwef.app and using the site. You can install the site the same way you install wefwef. On your phone, go to landscape with the website to expose all the features and locate ranked communities that way.

I’m the Memmy app go to profile. I have my site circled. You can access it from a browser without the “@“. https://i.imgur.com/n456cVe.jpg

Mlem is a different app. Both are good, but only Memmy is currently released into the App Store.

If you go to profile -> settings -> email debug log you can outbound suggestions from the app.

You can also visit the Memmy community to interact with the developer, and other enthusiasts.

Fireworks are illegal in my city but people light them off constantly for NYE, sports, 4th etc. I wish people respected the law, but it is also annoying to hear all the whining about scared fur babies.
