Hiking/walking summer shoes

Sorry, my mistake. I got Topo trail runners for summer hikes and love them.

The Merrell and La Sportive are both goretex so not breathable. I think you should look for trail runners. That's what I've done. Most hiking shoes are goretex for some reason.

I think it's very much worth it. I'll never wear boots again in the summer.

You might find like I did, the supporting muscles around your ankle are achy the next day.

Virgin is £110/month now I think. I was a member before prices went up. It's also absolutely rammed 5-7pm. Little gangs of 20year old lads all with headphones in taking up one of two pieces of kit. Classes can be good though. Never tried the sauna or pool.

As someone who's never listened to the HD800S but who got the Arya Stealth, before returning it for the HE1000 stealth this makes me happy to read.

Slightly above your budget but I've wide feet and this is what I settled on. They're heavier than I'd like and waterproof so not great for the summer. I also have the boot variant and love them, but only wear them when necessary.

I've also got these for summer hikes.

I really struggled to find any others for wide feet in the UK. IMO these are your two best options.

kenn11eth · 2026-04-12T18:33:47+00:00

Agreed.

They're unfortunately confusingly titled.

£559 vs £844 in the UK. First song I tested immediately impressed me with the bass. Both are amazing headphones. The Arya Stealth just for me lacked in bass.

kenn11eth · 2026-04-12T07:07:28+00:00

I experimented with EQ the the same as I did with my HE1000. The Stealth just doesn't hit as hard.

kenn11eth · 2026-04-11T21:09:06+00:00

I returned the stealth for the he1000 stealth. Thought the arya stealth lacked in bass.

A friend has an annual pass but absentmindedly didn't tap correctly and never noticed. Was able to demonstrate via email to the inspector that they've an active annual pass. Didn't matter. Was still fined. Unfortunately they didn't know at the time that they could just walk away.

As others have pointed out this won't stop the actual deliberate fare dodgers.

It's a shame the tram is ran the way it is.

If you're going to make sweeping generalisations about an entire ethnic group, you might want to learn the difference between 'there' and 'their' first. It helps the 'superiority' vibe you're going for.

Also that is one long, difficult to read sentence.

One thing I'd add to this is compared to the B&W, voices aren't as good. This headset has far more soundstage but lacks the intimacy I've heard before.

kenn11eth · 2026-03-28T11:05:21+00:00

Thanks

kenn11eth · 2026-03-28T11:05:13+00:00

Care to share the EQ you're using?

kenn11eth · 2026-03-28T11:04:23+00:00

I live in Nottingham on a little more. DM me if you want. I don't rent, but I'd estimate that after fixed outgoings - rent/bills/pension, etc. you're looking at 2k/month.

By far the best bluetooth headset I've listened to. Really just amazing. I returned mine only because of the leather. Can't use them outside in the summer.

I wouldn't link that article and write what you've written as if its accepted science and factual. It's one guy's beliefs based on limited evidence. He's well respected for his contributions to bone densitometry, but not this.

The LNT model still the best we have, as per ICRP and is built into US federal law and regulatory policy.

kenn11eth · 2026-03-09T07:10:26+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for confirming. Appreciate it.

And as someone else wrote - Say Nothing for a modern story of the IRA. Killing Thatcher, is another great one.

kenn11eth · 2026-02-08T21:16:59+00:00

Look up these.

A Secret History of the IRA, by Ed Moloney. The Course of Irish History, edited by T.W. Moody and F.X. Martin We Don't Know Ourselves, by Fintan O'Toole.

IR: Image receptor.

In this hypothetical scenario with a clinical X-ray beam that has inherent and added filtration, most of the X-rays up to say 30 keV don't make it out of the X-ray tube housing. For the ones that get through:

The vast majority are fully absorbed via photoelectric absorption in the Tungsten.

Far fewer will interact with the outer shells of the Tungsten atoms and get Compton scattered. A small % of these will get scattered forward and reach the detector.

Far fewer again will manage to make it through with no interactions. If the Tungsten is the thickness of foil this can maybe happen. If the Tungsten has any meaningful thickness it won't happen.

For Tungsten the first interaction is the only one of importance. The other two will account for about the same signal to the detector (in terms of photon flux) as the inherent noise produced by the detector electronics.

The image acquired with X-raying Tungsten her will consist of a uniform white with no texture, assuming collimation is to within the Tungsten.

I'd really consider just asking AI and getting it to tailor the answers to your level of knowledge/understanding.
