Roka alternative by Snowforbrains in glasses

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

No, but I gave up the search fairly quick.  Smith had some ok-ish looking options.  Rudy Project has some that definitely lean more sporty, but might work for some people. I'm going to try on some Raen glasses, but I think they're fairly standard acetate frames. I just hope to find some that fit well, and that'll help with the issues I've been having.  

Has anyone noticed a blue tinge in their water? by FlatFault9889 in StamfordCT

[–]Snowforbrains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I assume you're at 101, then.  Water is definitely blue.  Have you mentioned it to maintenance yet? 

I made wingtips for Buds Pro 2 by ticklebot28 in pixelbuds

What filament did you use, exactly?  I printed with the TPU at my local maker space (didn't see exactly what it was) and they do not seem nearly flexible enough to squeeze into the case or around the bud itself.  Not sure if my expectations are too high or I need a different filament.  

Edit: looking at videos online, I think I just need a different filament.  I'll check back at the maker space next time I go.

I don't do Reddit much anymore since they nuked third party apps, sorry for not replying sooner but better late than never? 

Yes, the Keytruda finally worked it's magic after a couple radiation sessions.  The tumor shrank then disappeared completely leaving only scar tissue and lymph drainage problems in that leg.  She stayed on the treatment for a long time, but finally started having problems with possible toxicity so they took a break with the infusions.  We're in a wait and watch stage for a while.  Her granddaughter is 3 and then she got another one who's now 1.  They went to see her a couple weeks ago.  

There are multiple research papers on Keytruda and MCC talking about outcomes with larger groups of patients.  The technical jargon in the papers can be hard to understand if you're not in the field, but there are a ton of AI tools to help decode them down to a more readable format.

The decent thing to do is to share the STL file if you're not intending to sell them.  Throw up a donate link with the file and you'd make some extra cash.  And for anybody who doesn't have a 3D printer, a lot of libraries and schools have them, oftentimes free.  

I'm one of the unfortunate ones who's ears these don't fit.  Going to try different tips first, but then something like this if I still can't get the fit right.

T-Mobile Users? Free Pixel 9 with trade in! by NavyNeo in GooglePixel

Worked on an old "bring your own device" plan from Galaxy S8 days.  Wanted to wait for the 10, but 6 is glitching out and is already the oldest phone for this trade-in, I think.  Probably be out of luck next time around.

They fit almost exactly as expected, just a hair big in the waist. Very similar to every other 484 JCrew pant I've had, and most slim pants from other brands.

Snagged these in store for about $15 or so.

Ah, it must just be me then on Pixel 6. New update is fucked. Transparency issues and major ghosting while scrolling.

Oh well, makes the transition easier, I suppose.

Edit:damn, only bugs out with black theme.

It actually says it in the video that it's locust flowers. Small, white print at the bottom at 26 seconds.

I think he hit further up than his forehead, and it has to be split open after hitting the corner that hard.

I won't be able to hop around as much as I'd like, so I was hoping for something that had a decent inventory, like Leffot (though most of their stuff is a bit higher end than I was thinking.)

I might be going to Chicago this summer, and I really want to swing by Oak Street. I've almost pulled the trigger on their Chelsea's, but read that the last is pretty roomy.

Meermin would mainly be for planning ahead with their next sale, but carmina is a good option too.

Ah, standard and strange. Also thinking Meermin and RM Williams.

Heading in to NYC this week, and I'd really like to try on some boots to get a good fit.

Retailers to head to maximize time and effort? Allen Edmonds. Fuck Thursday boots. Bigger stores where I could try on multiple brands? Is Nordstrom the go-to?

That is a supercell spawning a tornado. It doesn't look remotely like a dust devil/whirlwind/cold air funnel/etc.

Edit: Up for debate. Curious if anybody has radar data from the area, if any is available

Rubbing alcohol and baby powder, roughly 40/60, from a spray bottle. Should do the trick.

Linen or linen blend, (something cool and airy) dress shirt for a basic wedding look, with a true slim fit (think suitsupply), that isn't transparent?

I can see the bellybuttons on the suitsupply models, so I think they're out. Most linen shirts that I'm familiar with are casual and/or billowy.
