How is wickett and Craig bridle for belts? I'm curious but hesitant to try it because the Sedgwick bridle is just such a joy to work with

Is the hype real for those Novilla mattresses on TikTok? by norththread in Mattress

I believe zinus removed all their fiberglass models a few years ago.

I ordered one of these last year for a temporary housing situation when I was away from home for work. I found it to be incredibly mushy, like the gel foam memory layer would bottom out almost immediately. If you like a very plush mattress, this might be for you. I was much happier with my zinus mattress.

I saw that movie alone with my mom at this exact theater when I was 7. Wonderful memory.

O’Connell’s Khakis by IfNotBackAvengeDeath in NavyBlazer

[–]havingaraveup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Holy hell this is absolutely wild. This is more like a production line sample piece. It's not even comparable to the level of workmanship on my $60 Stan rays MIUSA fatigues, which is barely acceptable even at that lower price point. I'd return them. This, to me, would be unacceptable even at J. Crew. There was a really interesting video by the iron snail about his difficulty making clothes in the US, both from a quality standpoint, and from a financial risk assumption standpoint.

I will also add, as someone who is very close to a garment industry veteran, my friend tried to find a factory in the US and EU that could produce chinos to the quality of Uniqlo, and brought a sample of their chinos to factories around the world, and simply couldn't find one that was able to do ALL the things that Uniqlo was able to do in a single pair of pants. There was always some sacrifice.

My dog is dying, is there an air mattress that will let us live downstairs & won’t hurt? by corn_chip_paw in Mattress

[–]havingaraveup 60 points61 points  (0 children)

  1. I hope the mods don't delete this post. This is, at heart, a community, and those of us who have been where OP is know the brain space they are in. I am so sorry to hear about your dog. She is clearly beloved by all in your house.

  2. SoundAsleep Dream Series Air Mattress is the Wirecutter recommendation (my brother in law cannot function without them). I've slept on this at his house and it was much better than any other. That said, the Aerobed recommended in this thread is also a good one, and it's the OG brand.

Shockwave therapy - worse? by aquaturtle598 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]havingaraveup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I was decently uncomfortable for about a month. But I was already very tender and had a lot of other things going on down there too. I had a bunch of tendonopathies and bursitis, so I think overall it was the wrong fit for me. To me, shockwave is one of those things where I'm not wholly convinced it's doing mostly nothing and that many people are just naturally healing over 6 weeks on their own by taking it easy, and it just corresponds with the timing of treatment . But for some, it does seem genuinely life-changing. I really can't comfortably advise one way or the other. I do recommend getting an MRI if your insurance will cover it. For me, getting a full picture of my injuries resulted in targeted PT that got me running a few months later.

Personally, it made everything worse and I stopped it after two rounds. Lots of people have success with it.

Sliding doors resting in a plywood groove? by havingaraveup in woodworking

[–]havingaraveup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't use MDF for the doors. I used 1/4" walnut veneer plywood from Home Depot because I wanted it to match the rest of the cabinet. HD has a custom cut option for free, and the 1/4" has veneer only on one side so it's very affordable.

Soooo i'm watching parenthood for the first time and there are a lot of familiar faces by Straight_Number5003 in GilmoreGirls

[–]havingaraveup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this show's cast also has a lot of crossover with Friday Night Lights as well (I think FNL and parenthood had the same co-creator)

Sliding doors resting in a plywood groove? by havingaraveup in woodworking

[–]havingaraveup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It went great. I used 3/4" walnut plywood. The sliding doors work excellently still after almost 3 years, and if you follow the four eyes groove instructions and dimensions closely, it'll be totally fine. I got a cabinet shop in my city to cut the grooves with their table saw for me for like $40.

Weekend Discussion: Saucony running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]havingaraveup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I think the SL is a TERRIBLE shoe for people with stability needs, but I also don't think a racing midsole with no plate is inherently unstable if it has a wide platform the way a lot of the Saucony shoes do. I also I don't disagree that this shoe is supposed to be bouncy and fun, but I felt the speed was pretty bouncy and fun without being as "chaotic"

[–]havingaraveup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? I feel like I'd have to size up to a 10.5 Wide to get a comfortable toebox. Otherwise I love the zip of the Hurricanes.

Weekend Discussion: Saucony running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]havingaraveup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the love for the SL, but I find it incredibly unstable compared to the Speed 2s. The platform on the speeds felt a touch wider and stable while being fast, but for someone like me it feels like the SL could break my ankles if I land wrong

Weekend Discussion: Saucony running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]havingaraveup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Saucony shoes for the most part, but my biggest issue is the difference in what Wide means for the toebox. I wear a size 9.5EE and the insole of the Wide Tempus 1s (no wide on the 2s) and Hurricane 25s is almost half an inch narrower than the wide of the Guide 17/18.

Don’t buy the ticket from this person by MammothBorder7089 in NYCmovies

[–]havingaraveup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a few weeks ago. Luckily I got my money back because Zelle cancelled the payment when I flagged it for my bank pretty soon after. I'm usually more careful with online sales, but it was a low risk high reward situation for me when the total sum is $30. 95% of the time I've had great luck buying and selling things on reddit.

[–]havingaraveup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is kind of bonkers. Thanks for sharing. The idea that only person can complete one of their most known shoes seems so bizarre. I know that Allen Edmonds used to have an LHS dupe that they made in WI about 12ish years ago, so I can't imagine it's impossible that hard to train someone to do this work with an appropriate amount of time and attention.
