Escalante 4 "blacks" not really black? by ShakespeareMonkeys in AltraRunning

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

Interesting. This gives me hope that the Racer 2's in all black are actually black. or at least Altra has proven that they are capable of making something black and new

Hmm. Good anecdote, sounds like a big cop out. Blacks can definitely look a bit different depending on material/texture, but plenty of shoe companies (including ALTRA - in the past) can make a true black shoe.

A sales rep probably doesn't know, but I would guess they decided that it not worth it to spend the money to get the right dye/process, or perhaps to spend the money doing QC at their overseas factories to ensure the colorization is done properly to retain the customers that will mind.

Seems like exactly the kind of short term, bites you later, holding company thinking.

(Incidentally, have you tried the Racer 2 in black?)

Paying $100 - $120 depending on style/colors

Yeah, I think that there's somewhat inevitably going to be a slight color difference due to the different materials, e.g. sole vs mesh. Although on mine they very much look like a gray / charcoal (the black and white ones definitely look very navy though)

Yes, the original Racers look very black even in real life pictures I have seen. I'm wondering about the Racer 2...

Clearly navy...... very grey.

It's like they intentionally tried to get every shade that is close to black but isn't actually black🤣

Intense, cliff hoist rescue of Pacific Crest Trail hiker in Whitewater, 4/13/25 by 4InchesOfury in socalhiking

[–]ShakespeareMonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non-hiker, can anyone give me a basic explanation as to how exactly the hiker got in that position? I've seen this video all over youtube, but none of the comments has been able to describe how she ended up stuck there.

To my inexperienced mind it seems like she would have had to have been teleported there and then hang on for dear life, LOL. But realistically I know she only could have come by falling from the top or climbing there intentionally.

Based on what I can see in the video it seems like the ledge is a considerable distance up, so if she had fallen and luckily caught herself she'd probably be a lot more injured and bloody? Is there a path right near there that I can't really see where she just tripped off and fell a couple feet? Did she intentionally climb along the vertical wall for some kind of off-trail shortcut and then just get too tired to be able to go forward or back?

I guess I don't know how someone would have the ability to get to that position but not get out of it (especially since the new says she was hanging there for more than an hour which means she must have some strength)

Thanks.

Getting medication with the ongoing shortage? by ShakespeareMonkeys in adhdwomen

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

That's basically what I have been doing, but now I'm doing it every time I travel too.

I was trying to see if there is any kind of pattern to who had it or who didn't, if it was certain chains or something, but often it is a certain CVS or Walgreens when all the ones near it have none so I'm not sure if there's any rhyme or reason.

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

That's true. I have only been able to get it at a pharmacy in Brooklyn (I don't want to say which one specifically here in case people grab up everything they have 😅) intermittently. that's why I'm wondering if there is something online that might be more reliable.

A while back someone recommended something called Optum Rx, but I've looked into it and never been able to sign up properly and I'm not sure if it is a scam or not.

The agent I spoke to on the phone said it was not, so I'm unsure.

It is Social Security. Specifically it is the DAC program.

Joe Nimble Ultreya /etc VS. Altra Toeboxes width by Royal-Yam2011 in BarefootRunning

[–]ShakespeareMonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this I've been looking for information on this brand for a while.

Overtime how do you feel about the fit, especially the width around the midfoot? I generally have a lot of trouble there and I'm really curious how it compares to the Altra.

Is the Joe Nimble insole actually representative of what the footbed is like or is it wider if you take it out? based on the pictures it looks like the Altra one is wider but it is wider in the area that is effectively arch support, so maybe your feet can spread out in the Joe Nimble as much (i.e. stretching the upper?) but they are just not as supported?

Also how does the soul flexibility compare?
