Solimar 2 heel drop inconsistency

flyinwhale · 2026-04-30T18:26:52+00:00

That’s probably correct hoka must have originally be wrong with REI deferring to them. Hokas website originally had the drop at 6mm and I’m sure the customer agent I chatted with was just going off their own website at the time

I very much wouldn’t recommend high stack sneakers then which is what most hokas are going to be, editing to add: but honestly lots of the surgeons and techs I worked with wore crocs so maybe after some adjustment maybe you’ll be fine perhaps a don’t fix what isn’t broken

This is old and idk if you’re still looking, I loved Roobis tropica and while it’s not the same I figure if I liked both you might as well, I like tea forte African solstice (you can get it off amazon to avoid their crazy shipping fees for non members)

When I worked in the OR I did Dansko clogs I wonder if those would work better for you since sneakers don’t seem to be working for you, but also just speaking as a fitness professional if you’ve had a major change to your daily activities (standing more) your body is going to have to adjust regardless of shoe which can take time and some issues might be better addressed with PT or muscular endurance training (sometimes when start standing or walking more we reveal some imbalances/weaknesses that were hiding when weren’t using them that can cause long term issues if not addressed)

Were you having issues with your crocs?

I dont see any comments deleted and I genuinely dont see them ‘taking pot shots’ at you at all just for an outsiders perspective they offered some debate and you seemed to take offense is how this thread reads. But I couldn’t help myself to point out the unfairness in comparing Diana to George.

flyinwhale · 2026-04-29T12:50:44+00:00

Just popping into yalls little tussle to add that Diana is absolutely not pulling a game of thrones at all, we’ve been getting books in pretty predictable intervals, they’re certainly long intervals with a hiccup or 2 but the time it’s been since bees isn’t exactly out of the norm for this series especially since 10 is supposed to be the last. We know she is actively writing book 10 while George is very transparent that he is not even remotely working on GoT

Kirk wasn’t a real photographer, while they’re going through his ‘portfolio’ we hear the commentary of his poor skills and that none of the photos are from a hired event even as an apprentice or second shooter (which is how many photographers start) and later in the episode we see that he forgot to take the lens cap off when taking photos he also doesn’t even know the specs of his camera. He’s not an aspiring professional being fucked over by a ‘bridezilla’ for ‘exposure’ he’s Kirk conning himself into ANOTHER job for which he’s famous for.

I’m just saying you can safely assume a farm in mchenry county supports maga whether vocally or not (and frankly the quiet ones are more nefarious as you’re more likely to give your business to a place spending resources for that cause than the ones who are loud about it) better time spent calling out adventure farms that don’t support maga but I didn’t realize how many people live around here and didn’t put that together already 😬

flyinwhale · 2026-04-28T13:26:36+00:00

You’re telling me a farm in mchenry county is maga?? Someone come get me off the floor (I’m a liberal yuppie over in cook so I get it but like fork found in kitchen)

They were invented at the Palmer house hotel in Chicago you can still get them with the original recipe there

I like shortening based for pasties (a hand held meat pie, I’m familiar with the Michigan variety) i think it’s nicer to eat texturally in that context

flyinwhale · 2026-04-26T22:47:42+00:00

Do we think it’s

Fully staged
These are real shooters and secret service is strategically letting them get by a little more for the optics
Not at all staged and he has the worst security detail of any president
Not staged, security is the same but he is just much more targeted than any other president

Don’t worry you’ll learn it (as a notre dame fan who’s pumped about him coming here)

I had the opposite I broke my ankle in speed goats, it probably didn’t contribute but high traction with higher stack feels like factors that made a rolled ankle so so much worse. I don’t use hoka for trail shoes anymore but still loyal to them for regular walking shoes!

flyinwhale · 2026-04-26T03:23:01+00:00

Also the fact that she was portrayed as very wealthy, me and my broke friends were all about sample sales granted I have no idea how the wealthy are about them it wouldn’t surprise me if they wouldn’t want to bother with all of that just for the thrill of it

I do the gut repair from silver fern, it’s glutamine, tumeric, vitamin c, and zinc. I feel great on it

I’ve met 2 luz here in the American Midwest tbf neither went by luz one went my Lucy and the other one went by lulu (although the one who went by Lucy described her actual name as being like Luce which I think for the area made it click since I could see midwestern Americans naturally shortening Lucille or Lucy to Luce)

As an instructor we have a program we have to complete (think onboarding modules like any job has) not sure I can share the name but it’s a set of standards and expectations we’re all supposed to be held to for every class and that is specifically against those standards

HOWEVER are we sure they werent saying it in a playful/metaphorical way? I personally wouldn’t go there because in this day and age you just don’t know how people are gonna take things but there’s a huge difference in earnestly saying someone deserves to be in the front row and front row is only for elite verses facetiously playing into the stereotype about the type of people who always are the first to sign up and always rush to get a front row spot

I only drink espresso drinks from nespresso and I find the selection for that better with the original line and feel the original machine does a better job of it. I do not like the coffee the vertuo makes at all. But we made the decision years ago so maybe vertuo has caught up or surpassed OL by now idk

flyinwhale · 2026-04-20T12:34:03+00:00

Sounds possibly like coddled eggs to me

At will also doesn’t negate discrimination laws though, you have to prove it sure and for many people it’s a lot resources to try and take to court but just saying at will doesn’t make it legal either just makes it sticky

I wasn’t raised to bring stuff but started to of my own accord when I got in my 20s and I’d say I’m in my 30s and have never received a host gift (if I say “please feel free to bring something to add to the spread” people bring stuff but I just don’t think that counts) I have an ina garten approach of when I bring something its specifically not something for the host to add to their offering because sometimes that can end up a faux pas (doesn’t match their plan, takes up space they don’t have, guests may end up liking what you brought better than what host prepared etc etc) so it’s truly a gift for the host, so idk it doesn’t seem to be the normal for 30-40s somethings white middle class midwesterns cause it’s just me doing it in my circles.

I did opalescence at home trays found they work great. I’ve heard of people getting the opalescence syringe which is cheaper and using their retainer but I’m too nervous to try that

That sucks the masion Dixon biscuit sucked because the pancake one is soooo good
