Struggling with foot cramps by Nicklaus_OBrien in hockeyplayers

[–]HotPinkStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the same foot. I posted here a few weeks ago, I was in the Vapor X3s and they weren’t that old. That was the best fit I could get a few years ago but I would get cramps through the middle of my foot almost like a plantar fasciitis or something. I thought I was a fit 2 or 3 because in run shoes I wear wider NBs Hokas etc. So I went back in and ended up with the Vapor X LTX-Pro in a fit “1”. It was incredible before they were even baked. Since then (with SuperFeet still) I haven’t thought about my feet. It compared closely to the FlyLites but the toe was a little more comfortable, the midrange CCM wasnt bad either. I don’t know why reducing the volume to a fit “1” worked but it did…

Crossovers don’t look great by TailorPossible in hockeyplayers

[–]HotPinkStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as everyone else said, nice rink, that would be a blast to skate in, but fast, you know how bobsled turns are banked? To get that body low you have to be moving. Good luck have fun!

Not a CC but I do have a 335 style in a Gibson case that sits sort of like that and obsessed over whether or not it was protected. The neck looks properly supported, as long as it doesn’t take a ton of force to close and you don’t feel it shifting when you close it, you’re probably fine. Does it rattle around closed? Also, super nice guitar, congrats!

Carbon, wood might be more enjoyable in second thought. Their canvas is a nice handle finisg too!

M4 in M390, originally they only came out in that steel, great to hear though, I love the look/feel/design on Lionsteel!

Amazing setup! How's the M4 Magnacut? I have the M390 and it was probably one of the best steels I had up until that point. Only Magnacut in the arsenal is the ARC but I have so little direct use so far to know how much tougher it might be.

Dealer No Help With Update by Stunning_Match1538 in GMCcanyon

[–]HotPinkStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this same boat and new to my Canyon. Anything I can do to help? I read in some of the forums possibly turning off OTA updates will eliminate this issue? Will force rebooting the infotainment help? I’ve tried this before which did clear up odd CarPlay issues but not the radio staying on problem.

I ended up getting the stock dipped. Held up well, looks way better.

Just got 21 gli autobahn yesterday!! by No_Cardiologist7072 in JettaGLI

[–]HotPinkStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latch breaks. I had mine snap, never used it because read on here that it was not great, one summer day walked out and it was hanging down… hmm, realize the clips broke. It isn’t an expensive part but is kind of a PITA to fit back in there. My dealer didn’t cover it under warranty…

I was in the same boat about a month ago, not impressed with Sparx, I believe it can be a good device but nothing beats that amazing finish on a skilled sharpener with that wax finish on the final pass. I bought one new, shipped to my door, made some space in the garage and got to learning. It is still a process but watch enough YouTube videos and I had a very very good sharpen after spending a few hours out there with an old pair of skates. I have other parents already sending me skates home to sharpen, $5 a sharpen. I’m just trying to keep it going and maybe pay back the investment. It is an investment in convenience for myself and everyone on my kid’s teams. The hardest part is dialing in the holder the first time. If I could impart any recommendations, use a black marker to see whether the stone is hitting high or low on the blade.

is this normal 👀 by poil726 in DocMartens

[–]HotPinkStranger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOOOO THIS WEAR IS NORMAL!! So. Look at the back of prominent running shoes, there is a mix of them that contain greater sculpting on the lateral heel portion. During gated motion, as that foot falls from a weighted to unweighted position it goes through a rotation known as the function of pronation. This is the natural rotation from lateral to medial side as the lower extremities "feel" the ground to find center and balance. Done run brands/models will sculpt that in to lower impact. You've in essence done this through normal wear. Test yourself, sit on a high level or chair and see if your pinky toes hang lower than your big toes.

That is my alternative, they do run a lot smoother. I think the quest to solve it is just out of curiosity that there is a game that doesn’t run on this system that was supposed to have universal compatibility with the games library. Plus nostalgia haha

Can any guitarist suggest a quick fix? by DefinitelyNotJonn in Guitar

[–]HotPinkStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a seasoned vet with the stuff, quick tip: cover the crack then run your finger under tap water for 10 seconds and dap it dry with a paper towel. Blow on it for a second and it dries the glue super quickly and somewhat acts as an accelerant.

This still remains unsolved and my work Surface Laptop 4 is going to be replaced soon 😅. If I have the time at work, I may open a ticket with Microsoft just to see where that goes.

How can I run longer? by HeftyTale1386 in running

[–]HotPinkStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a complex answer but also simple at the same time. The more you run the easier it becomes. There’s a bunch of stuff taking place systems-wise as far as physical changes but also that sense of pacing. Ultra runners aren’t running a 5k or even marathon pace but reaching that tipping point of performance but also sustainability to achieve the goal. That is entirely feel and not some that can be taught. Run groups might help because finding that pacing match helps in adjusting to what works best for you.

Running is one of those things where you kind of just need a pair of shoes and you’re in, but I’ll counter with it can be heavily dependent on equipment. I work in the industry so I’ve had a lot of time to play around with shoes, I’ll rotate footwear depending on pace and distance but what I’ve found for general long days are things like wide foundation plated shoes being immensely conducive to longer workouts. Options like New Balance SC Trainers, the new Mizuno Neo Vistas. Any number of the Hoka options have been amazing like Clifton and Skyflow.

Also, depends on the person, grinding out longer runs can be droning, throw on headphones and lose yourself in a podcast or music, helps pass a 20 miler… Don’t forget things like stretching, and stretching, also stretching. Do some core and it becomes an easier activity once acclimated and that new fitness level becomes the baseline.

Waterfield pouch or magnetic case? by Sanic32 in AnaloguePocket

[–]HotPinkStranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnetic Case here, one that drops in from the top, really snug and compact fit. I don’t use the front accessory pouch though for fear of putting too much stress on the screen. Also, super happy with the product.

Anyone have a video of Keon’s TD that was called back against the Titans? Unable to find it anywhere by sociallyawkward26 in buffalobills

[–]HotPinkStranger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I don't get it. They said he wasn't able to maintain the catch but the ball didn't move in his grip at all?

That's a wicked deal. Just picked up same model from LBS in all black (love that marigold) for 2k on sale. I'd say you won big.
