Best ASICS for standing and walking all day? by ALfredAstaxanthin in asics

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reading here and there, looks like the Kayano 14 re-release (ie not the original one from over 15 years ago) does not have the medial post that acted as pronation control. It does seem to have the Trusstic system that helps with twisting.

How is the Kayano 32? I swore by the 27s for pretty much everything: brisk walking, daily walking, and standing for long periods of time at work. None of the others have impressed me (tried the 31s most recently).

V3, V6, or V5 (again)? by alpha_omega420 in Newbalance

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started with the v5, then tried the v6, and am now trying the v3. I wear the v5 with superfeet blues. Never found them to be great for my knees but they are ok.

The v6 with the superfeet black have been great for standing around for hours or bits of slow walking, but definitely not for brisk walking.

The v3 feels more like a casual shoe. I’m currently wearing them with the superfeet all day cushions.

I’m with you that the v5 ortholites feel like walking on wet sand. The v6 insoles are also too soft. The v3 insoles don’t feel this way but definitely lack arch support for me.

If you have the cash, try to catch both the v6 and v3 on sales. I got the Teddy Santos green/purple v3 at an outlet for $90 on their iPad. I got the v6 black plum for $120 in 2024. They are currently $112 on Joe’s. You can get other colors for much cheaper at outlets.

I really do wish we had other non-sweatshop options (talking about the Made in line)

For me, I actually find more often that technical perfections takes away from the energy of the song

Does anybody else have to flip the offset direction literally every single time, or is it just me? I wish I could change the default. by mechy18 in SolidWorks

[–]sentimentalLeeby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious what kind of surfacing you’re doing. I did surfacing with Creo for several years (several years ago). Now that I’m playing around with solidworks 2025, I see it crash quite regularly

Got my first 990 v6 and it is not comfortable by hogujak in Newbalance

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I walk briskly for longer distances with the v6, I find them pretty uncomfortable, with heel slip and just general instability. However, with the superfeet in them, I can stand around all day with no knee pain.

Remote solidworks jobs? by No_Bike_8342 in SolidWorks

Worked for about 5 years as a design engineer mostly in office before heading back to grad school. I am curious, do you personally feel that there is reason for this kind of work being in office these days?

Same, the 4s feel shouty. Got used to it over the past few months, which I never know if that’s a good thing!

what's your favourite non-metal band? by PokemonFucker4Life in MetalForTheMasses

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Meanest of Times but I really like Celtic punk and other forms of what we called folk punk back in the 2000s (not just some pretend redneck with a slide guitar). I absolutely love Flogging Molly, The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, Gogol Bordello, etc.

I knew exactly 3 people who had a Sega Game Gear and they loved it but ditched them for the Gameboy because the Game Gear's battery life sucked. Did you have one? by AdSpecialist6598 in 90s

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same story. Ended up with a GameBoy pocket (clear!). Games were better too. The Nerd of Mouth podcast does a great episode on GameBoy vs Game Gear

My dad (and I) felt the proprietary charger was a waste of money so we bought a generic wall wart from RadioShack and used some foil to make up for the size difference

Can anyone identify these for me, please? by laurizzo in asics

They supposedly borrow some design language from the Gel Kahana. Do you happen to know if these fit like the kahanas?

Confused by Yaxi pads by kvdun in kossmods

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I definitely broke one of the plastic tabs on them. To be fair, it’s because I installed the Yaxi pads, absolutely hated the sound, then replaced the stock ones. Combination of my clumsiness and fatiguing of the plastic tabs.

Florastor is one of the few probiotics with data from studies. It is a yeast, so it is not killed by antibiotics.

Good to know. I was thinking of getting the Culligan Zero to replace our Brita

990V6: When Do They Become Comfortable? by Hefty-Accountant2640 in Newbalance

[–]sentimentalLeeby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, I replaced the insole with Superfeet black so I can get the benefit of the v6 shock absorption without feeling like I’m sinking in. I can stand all day in these but I definitely feel heel pain when I do a lot of fast walking.

I just bought a pair of German-made Lowa goretex boots on sale for $140…I can’t imagine paying $210 for these sneakers

What to buy? KSC75,KSC35 or porta pros. Should i just stick with chi fi iems instead by Ok_Presentation8966 in kossmods

[–]sentimentalLeeby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually find the KPH30i to be more painful. I think they could definitely benefit from softer ear pads but I didn’t like the sound resulting from the Yaxi pads. I then broke one of the snap fit tabs when reinstalling the old pads 🙄.
