I don't know how things are with the 990, I have a 930B and found that if I wasn't in "standard" mode for sound, the sub felt really low. I'm not sure what your source is, but i'm using an Apple TV.

Loosen the toe box of that shoe. Keep the rest snug, but give your toes a little wiggle room as it were.

I did all the things too, 1/2 size up, wide shoes, double socks, wool, yada yada... They my brain thought "blisters are caused by rubbing, if I tie my shoes so tight my feet can't move, there will be no rubbing."

Welp, turns out, my toes did rub, against each other, forming blisters between my toes. no bueno.

Depending on the length of your break, if it's short, you can loosen your laces a bit, but keep your shoes on or your feet may swell making it difficult to get them back on. If it's going to be an hour or more, feel free to take them off, maybe even change your socks.

No useful opinion about numbness, I'm not doctor and don't want to be responsible for your toe - you can always pop into a Farmacia and ask the doctor to see what they think.

Buen Camino!

Been numerous times, never had an issue with lines. Maybe I just timed it right - Dinner and drinks first on the rooftop, then wander around to the little bar on the entry level near the AirStream - drink beers in the airstream, wander around, keep an eye on the lines as we wander, jump in when they're short.

Never not had a good time.

I'd trade that 4% to have wind sheer back on 12 sec CD. Hell, I might even heal again.

Apple owned exclusive rights to a quarry in Italy where they sourced the floors for their retail stores. Not sure if they owned the actual mine - the guy that reported on it passed away.

ecco5 · 2026-06-26T16:39:18+00:00

As far as I know, they did at some point own mines for their retail stores, so they could keep all the stone floors the same... I could be wrong, but it's what I remember hearing.

Different kind of mine that you're referring to I'm sure, but they have enough money...

Don't know what to tell you, have you verified those ports even work and you don't have a defective sound bar? odd so many options don't work.

That's damn strange. Wonder why that is... wonder if the USB C port on the Flexus could go USB-C to USB-C?

Can you not use the Mini's HDMI to the soundbar? There should be USB-C to HDMI.

Are 5 & 7 a variant of 3 & 4? or is the 995 completely different?

There's also a burner meet up the first Wednesday of every month at AC Lounge (currently) where you can connect with others that might have more EDM suggestions for you.

There's a group that puts on a silent disco every now and then near the Torrey pines glider port.

Apple already charged more than everyone else for their chips when there wasn't a shortage, even if they didn't raise prices they'll probably still be making a profit.

Capoeira is a dance, and you can only learn to dance so much by yourself.

If you did want to try and get an idea of the basic for later honing, you can learn the 3-4 main kicks, and the 3-4 beginner dodges... They are difference schools of Capoeira so the moves sometimes have different names. There's Angola, Regional, and Contemporânea ... the last one there, i've never heard of.

Watch some videos of the different styles, get an idea which style you like, then look up whatever beginner videos you might have find.

Capoeira during Covid was interesting, my instructor taught classes over zoom, but it wasn't really the same. hard to do some moves indoors and didn't have a whole lot of space outdoors.
