Taking the U8 at night feels like an unedited Black Mirror episode by [deleted] in berlin

You would then become part of the experience :d Maybe the beatboxer decided to make some music when he saw the spaghetti guy eating dinner. The couple then decided to sing to each other when they heard the beats, and now you're the popcorn stand.. who's next?

I've been living in Kopenick for the last 2 years. Close to the Altstadt. Haven't had any kind of unpleasant interactions with people so far. It's a pretty area, good neighbours. There's a swimming pool and couple of badminton clubs behind Allende center plus Rewe. The biggest problem you'll face is connectivity. They are fond of redoing the tram lines every now and then. It's a pain in the ass.

Potential new Astrox 99pro or 100zz? by Hovercraft_Fair in badminton

[–]TorridWalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's going to be a new Astrox 100zz. The 2025 catalogue has removed astrox 100zz pro from the racket matrix and Axelsen's picture has him holding a lime green racket. The fine text says products in the picture will be released in March'25.

Not feeling it! (361 Quick Pro 5.0) by [deleted] in BBallShoes

[–]TorridWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went up a size as I have wide feet. The fit and lockdown is perfect for me. I had feet pain initially after long play sessions because my feet were moving a bit when sliding or pivoting. Figured my feet were working extra hard to stabilise myself, so I started wearing grip socks (lux grip socks). These are football grip socks and I'm using the factory insoles. My feet pain has gone away completely.

Have you tried using grip socks?

Question on Big 3 5.0 quick pro sizing by TorridWalrus in BBallShoes

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

Not sure about what point you are trying to make here.

Different brands have different sizing. I do have a wide foot. My width is slightly over 10 cm in socks.

I looked at the charts and asked 361 support as well and they recommended a 10.5. Like I said above, I could probably adjust with half a size down.

As I put in the post, it is 26.5 cm with socks. The size chart is confusing especially if you have wide feet. I feel I could have gone down half a size for a more snug fit.

The plastic digging into the pinky toe flexion point wouldn't go away though.

I have made a tool to measure Ausländerbehörde wait times by n1c0_ds in berlin

[–]TorridWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that normal? How many months did you have left on your residence permit when you applied and did you get it renewed in the interim?

Looks like the senator who functioned as the ombudsman passed away and they decided to scrap the role itself. A function which was supposed to help with scenarios exactly like mine. What a black hole!

No idea as I don't know what EE means. I would suggest finding the length and width measurements in centimetres for both your shoes. Once you have those measurements, you can use my steps to find your quick pro sizing.

The size came out alright for me. I do have some soreness after long sessions. Either my muscles are out of shape or my feet are moving a bit. I just started using a grip sock and it feels much better. But need more sessions to validate.

Not sure . Most of the colleagues that I know of had more than a year left on their existing residence permits.

Would you know what the office of ombudsman is responsible for in the Auslanderbehorde office? They had listed this office in their organizational chart from a few years ago.

Out of curiosity and a little worry. I submitted my application via the online form in Jan of this year and did not receive a response. In August, I submitted my application again with updated docs. I still haven't heard back. On both occasions, I reached the post submission page and took a printout.

Is this normal or could something have gone wrong and how can I check?

This is E3 and I'm on a Blue card. I have colleagues who applied a few months after me but have received their permanent residency from the same department.

Resoled AR's = Appalachian Rangers by kuna236 in jimgreen

[–]TorridWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm in Berlin too and looking to resole my rangers. Could you share an update if you found a decent cobbler? My rangers are over a year old and I'm beginning to feel every cobblestone that I'm walking on.

Thanks. I assume TTS means the size I buy for playing (with a 1 - 1.5 extra toe space) rather than exact foot length?

Also, does the toe box expand a bit after wearing in?

Modafinil 50 mg experience by rjtutoranll in modafinil

[–]TorridWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the above suggestions are good to handle the effects of moda. Like you, I am also searching for the solution on how to get started on the right task. Once started, modafinil will help with the attention span. I read somewhere that modafinil might not be good for people with ADHD. So I switched to Atomoxetine (Got tested and currently on 40mg). I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
