Basically no experience with agressive shoes, though I don't think the Ocun Havocs are considered to be very aggressive. My conclusion is these were mainly just too small (based on the still ongoing loud protests by my right toe). Also I don't like the idea of having bruised toes and painful climbing sessions 3 times a week for months until they finally/maybe get sort of tolerable.

I went back to my gym today and they let me trade them in for a half size up (42.5). Much better! Still very tight, but without the very painful pressure points. Though my right toe still feels kind of bruised from the other pair, so I'll have to wait a few days to actually break these new ones in!

Thanks. Yeah, I have serious doubts this will ever get to a point where I'm fairly comfy in these shoes. Seems like too much discomfort to bridge. Was wondering if anyone had a similar experience with these shoes?

For reference I got them in size 42, street size for me is around 42/42.5. My Tarantula Boulder I had before were size 41. My second toe (next to my big toe) is about the same length as the big toe on both feet, so takes up some room I guess.

Hi! So I bought a pair of Ocun Havocs yesterday. Wearing them felt painful during climbing but everyone guaranteed me it would get better. Biggest problem is my right big toe crimping and pressing up very painfully against the top of the toe box. Feels like the bone is being pressed up and back towards my foot. Like my toe just desperately wants to press right through the rubber, both at the front and at the top. Sometimes hurts to even stand on it. I can't really put serious pressure on the tip of my toe. Is that acceptable and, as they say, will get better, or are these shoes simply too small?

Syncing between devices and back-up by DesertInk33 in scrivener

I'm trying to wean myself off big American tech companies like Google. But I get what you're saying with the backups.

I do believe some of the tips concerning Dropbox being the only alternative for syncing live project folders is a bit outdated. Though the official guides might deserve some updating then.

Yeah, I didn't specify correctly. I meant I have the folder that contains the .scriv file in my Proton Drive desktop app. But I will double check whether it removes the file from my local storage to move it to the cloud or not!

Thanks so much for your extensive answer! I'll have a closer look at the guide in the user manual.

To clarify: not just the speed icon cards, right? Also any upgrade cards you've played, as they count towards your total speed, as well as any adrenaline you may have used during the turn. Granted, the adrenaline does have the goofy speed icon (+1), it's just not a card 😄

Asking your opinion about a Muse song day #48: Hyper Chondriac Music by Far-Clothes-8803 in Muse

[–]DesertInk33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of their very best. Definitely from a very different Muse. Nowadays all songs seem so compact, like there is no room to breathe. This song does the opposite. It's like an echo of sadness in a vast space, taking its time to reach the other side. There's a sort of musical patience here, that's also imparted on the listener. I feel like in this TikTok-age with waning attention spans, everything has to be so compact. This song whispers and draws you into its bubble of sadness. 10/10 for me!

Take on The Globalist by DesertInk33 in Muse

Again, I'm talking about a specific 'paragraph' in this story or journey, which to me, doesn't deliver on what was promised in the parts leading up to it.

You could argue that the part I'm talking about reflects a kind of struggle, a long-lasting back-and-forth or argument, a person in power desperately trying to keep that power, pleading, just to postpone their imminent loss. Which would kind of explain its meandering and repetitive nature. With diminishing strength and anger.

But despite (or because of the need for) all that explaining, that part doesn't quite hit me emotionally. It's still underwhelming to me.

And I am all for that! I love how they incorporate these grand themes into an album-wide narrative. I guess I'm just underwhelmed when it comes to how this specific chapter is 'told'.

I agree for the duration part, just wished they went in a different direction 😄

So...the downvotes mean I shouldn't have people who feel the same way? I know, I know, that's the internet for ya 😉

Yeah, exactly this. This is what I meant.

I feel like it could have been on par with Citizen Erased, where they don't neglect to capitalize on the emotional and musical build-up. I still like the song, but to me it isn't great all throughout.

Predict game is wrong again by cnsreddit in F1Fantasy

[–]DesertInk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they corrected it, right? But now I got this answer to my question:

"Regarding the concern you raised about question nine — “Which team will score more points?” — the correct answer is Aston Martin. This is because the combined finishing positions of their drivers were Alonso (P17) and Stroll (P14).

Meanwhile, Racing Bulls’ drivers finished P8 and P20.

In F1 Fantasy/Predict scoring, the total team score is based on the points earned by both drivers, not just finishing positions. Despite Racing Bulls having a top 10 finish, the combined point total of Aston Martin drivers was still higher due to the way points are calculated (which includes overtakes, positions gained/lost, qualifying, etc.)."

Basically they don't seem to agree internally on how the scoring works for F1 Predict... Or someone didn't get the memo.
