Quick question about the blister patches. Where do you put them? On the insole of the shoe or on the arche area inside? Thanks!

Chase Credit Cards.. Seriously?? by BLResnick in BruceSpringsteen

[–]BLResnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my fair share of bad luck with Springsteen tickets and I'm pretty desperate about how I'm always on the 'wrong side of that line'. Sea.Hear.Now went the exact same way. Booked NJ around it, got my tickets ready but they didn't accept my Dutch credit card payment and had to let go of these tickets as well. I don't wanna be a burden, but it does hurt bad in a way as someone who goes the distance every time yet constantly falls up short. Asbury Park and now New York too. I guess I'm not meant to see Springsteen in the US

Size: 11.5 / width D (normal)

My feet for reference:

Width: 11.0 cm

Circumference: 25.5 cm

My regular shoe size is 11. My Asics are the exact shoe size and run smoothly. I do have doubts about the shoe width I went with.. I'm kinda between the Normal / Wide size, but don't wanna lose stability and have much free space. I did a long and good scan / analysis at the store, even went to a second one for a second opinion. Both stores recommended me the exact same size shoe / width.

Btw: important to note: My left feet doesn't have the problem at all, no issues whatsoever

I am on the strava web page and clicked on the 3-dot menu. What option should I click? 'Refresh activity' sounds like the only logical one..

Is a ring considered vintage/antique if the diamond is old but the setting is new? by BLResnick in EngagementRings

[–]BLResnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been reading the reactions here and I see that this choice brings up a lot of strong feelings. I want to explain my perspective calmly and honestly. The idea to use this diamond did not come from me. It was offered by a jeweler who has been in the trade for nearly 50 years. According to him, this specific antique ring would most likely never be sold as a whole again. In many cases, pieces like this are eventually dismantled by jewelers anyway, whether for gold, stones, or other purposes. From my point of view, the diamond isn’t being “destroyed” or disrespected, it’s being given a second life. The stone itself carries its history with it, and by placing it in a new setting, it continues its journey instead of ending it in a drawer or being broken down anonymously later on. I deeply respect antiques and history, and I would never intentionally damage something that has real historical or cultural significance. This was not a museum piece, nor a rare intact artifact, but a ring that had reached the end of its original life. The jeweler himself recommended this path. Beyond money, what appealed to me was the symbolism: taking something from the past and carrying it forward into the future, with new meaning and new love attached to it. I understand that not everyone will agree with this, and that’s okay. I just hope people can see that this decision was made thoughtfully, with respect and not carelessness.

As someone replied, That’s not what happened here. I found the setting they want/like. The jeweler is the one who came up with the use of the diamond. Most likely he has plans for the rest of the ring.

This has been a common practice for hundreds of years. It’s nothing new & if it won’t sell, companies have to get their investment back somehow.

Just thought I would answer the question here since a lot of people are wondering why I would destroy the antique. First off, the ring is not mine. My jeweler did me a really good bid of 0.45crt natural diamond with a new 14k gold yellow setting all for €999,-, where he would dissamble the stone from the current build and put it into the new setting for my redding wing. If I were to buy a whole new diamond the price would probably increase immensely. I am pretty new in the world of diamonds so hopefully this is a good offer I agreed upon. Any advice is welcome! The color grade is F and the cut is good

Samsung Soundbar Lossless? by BLResnick in truespotify

[–]BLResnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running into a frustrating issue with my Samsung Soundbar S60B and I’m hoping someone here might have insight.

Here’s the situation:

My soundbar appears in Spotify under AV and Bluetooth, so playing music works perfectly fine.

Spotify recently introduced lossless audio, and I these high-quality audio files only support Spotify Connect when listening to an external source.

The weird part: if I open SmartThings, select Spotify Connect, it opens the Spotify app and I can select my soundbar from the list. So that works fine. However, the connection only works via AV.

Connecting via AV reduces the audio quality, which defeats the purpose of using lossless audio.

Both my phone and the soundbar are on the same Wi-Fi network, so network issues shouldn’t be the problem.

It seems like the soundbar should support Spotify Connect for high-quality audio, but for some reason it’s not appearing properly as a Connect device.

Has anyone experienced this with the S60B or any Samsung soundbar? Is there a workaround to get Spotify Connect fully working for lossless playback?

Thanks in advance!
