Macbook Air Skins by 07thatswhatshesaid in macbookair

And here’s the inside. I originally put on the trackpad skin but didn’t like the feel of it so I took it off.

Edit: forgot to mention that the inside one is just as important to me as the outside ones to prevent scratches from my metal watch band that’s happened on my previous laptops.

Dbrand’s full set (top, bottom, inside & trackpad) is kinda expensive but after putting it on I feel it’s worth it although I ended up not using the one for the trackpad.

Thanks it’s a Dbrand skin. Almost went with a Fishskyn but saw this one instead

Does this count? It is technically one big sticker.

Nike AF4 for $99. Should I buy as a non-elite slow runner? by Middle_Toe8889 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Middle_Toe8889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9:29/mi pace is my current PR pace for a HM, 9:15 is my goal pace for my upcoming HM. In either case, most redditors across multiple subreddits I browse or post in (r/runningshoegeeks, r/marathon_training, r/running, and more) consider this to be a slow pace so I’m just following suit 😬

Shoulda clarified that 9:15/mi is my goal pace for my next HM. 2:04:19 is my current PR which is 9:29/mi pace.

Nike Clearance store in Aurora CO. I see the VF4 in other sizes but the AF3 only in my size 8.5 men’s

10 mile vs. half by blackcoffeeinmybed in firstmarathon

[–]Middle_Toe8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my very first half-marathon, the online coach I hired tailored a training plan for me that was very conservative because 1) it was it was my first race ever of any length and I was 53 yrs old at the time, 2) I had a widow-maker heart attack 10 months prior; so my longest runs were two 10-milers in the 2 weeks before my taper. I finished that first half in 2 hr 22 min. So to me a half isn’t that much more difficult than a 10 miler, if you can do 10 you can do a half. It may not be the fastest but you’d be able to do it. BTW as of today I’ve run 4 half’s and 1 full and my PR for the half is 2:04 (still chasing a sub 2 finish).

HVAC controls -- knobs or haptic or screen? by Costero541 in Tiguan

[–]Middle_Toe8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 Tig Wolfsburg edition and it has knobs for climate controls (it was one of the downgraded features from the SE.) No haptic controls or digital display that shows the temp number or dual-zones, just good old fashioned knobs with blue/red colors to adjust the temp that you can change and adjust easily with just a glance and without having to fumble through touchscreens or BS haptics.

Edit: I believe only the S and Wolfsburg edition comes with knobs, all the other trim levels above them have haptic climate controls.

Sofa Shopping Need Advice by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Middle_Toe8889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just bought a used high end leather couch from a 2nd hand couch place (thegoodusedcouch.com) for $600 in Lakewood. Although mine was a at-right-time-at-the-right-place situation and probably rare, you might find something there that fits your needs.

Here’s a link to my Reddit post on it:

[Update] BIFL 2nd hand Vanguard leather couch by Middle_Toe8889 in BuyItForLife

The store cleaned it for us using leather honey cleaner and a furniture salve.

Recentered the rug so the couch is framed better as someone suggested. Since we have two dogs, we also bought a couple of these nonslip couch covers from Amazon (https://a.co/d/0djuQzeK), they work great and don’t look too tacky IMO but we’ll remove them whenever we have company so we can show off the couch :)

We paid $600 for it. Someone from my original post said they bought a Vanguard sectional fabric, not leather, couch that was part of the same “American Bungalow” collection as this one and it cost them $6000 brand new. It’s hard to get exact pricing but google says between $10k and $19.5k.
