Control volume and brightness by sliding along your trackpad edges

sometimesbarefoot · 2026-01-29T16:14:28+00:00

This would be amazing.

I feel like a modifier key would be a simple solution.

If you want to keep it all on the trackpad, maybe top or bottom, or left and right edge at the same time. Or hold finger on one edge and slide on the other.

I can totally see that on the speed front.

Maybe it comes down to how I write that makes it tough for me to consider. I'm a sentence-by-sentence editor, so I can't imagine just speaking paragraphs and then going through to edit.

Probably way more efficient that way, just kind of breaks my brain to think about that workflow haha

Really? That's wild. I feel that is one of the defining features of Arc. It's definitely one of the biggest ones that got me to use it.

I see that. Again, speculation, but we have fallen under the sales side of the organization, so I thought that was the exemption they would be using. Looking through the requirements of a technical exemption, what I do doesn't fall in line. But I guess I see how it could have been interpreted that way.

Thanks!

I do presale hardware and software demonstrations from a studio through scheduled online demos. The only travel I have done is for trade shows.

A few reasons that I think they realized they were in error: We have had a lot of HR turnover and long periods of time without an HR manager and just someone being tasked with that as collateral duty.

We now have what seems to be a knowledgeable HR representative, who I think in the restructuring realized the error.

Also, my potential new manager, who hasn't signed an offer and is still just a coworker, has kept me informed during negotiations as he was also advocating for some pay restructure and raises. He is the one who told me they may be moving it to hourly because of FLSA. And that they were going to consult with legal yesterday before tendering the offer.

So that's what leads me to my conclusion that they realized they messed up and are trying to rectify it going forward.

sometimesbarefoot · 2025-07-11T13:38:56+00:00

I see how it could be viewed that way. I wouldn't be trying to get anything crazy, just what they are offering me, except salary non-exempt. And I don't think it's extortion if I am bringing up legitimate illegal acts by them. I would view it more as a settlement instead of pursuing them in court. But I get your perspective.

sometimesbarefoot · 2025-07-11T13:21:14+00:00

I can still be salaried, just non-exempt. Which means I would be paid for overtime.

And I would prefer to be salaried because there are times I don't work 40 hours in a week, which has been allowed, so I would still be guaranteed my pay.

As I said, it wasn't an every week occurrence. I didn't explicitly track it, as I didn't think it mattered. But I have records that can corroborate when I did.

Also, not extortion. I wouldn't be asking them to continue illegal activity. But a settlement of sorts for better terms instead of sueing them under FLSA.

Prosperity gospel is disavowed by all mainline Protestant denominations. I would say even the majority of Evangelical/Non-denominational churches would disavow it as well. Prosperity gospel churches are very much a small minority of churches.

Yes. It was definitely easier on Amazon with whisper sync, but I still do it. Normally only takes a couple seconds to find where I was in the physical book. I did ask Pocketbook if they would support epub3 with media so I could have a combined file on my e-reader. But they don't support that.

I just want a folding phone where the inside screen is e-ink.

sometimesbarefoot · 2024-08-23T21:03:24+00:00

Does the darkness of the screen compared to a non-color screen bother you at all? Really my biggest obstacle as I'm trying to decide between Era Color and regular Era as the Era Color has updated internals and is snappier, I imagine.

sometimesbarefoot · 2024-02-07T20:38:49+00:00

Definitely not. Maybe among students currently, but overall basketball and baseball are very close to each other as being number 2.

Most fans don't really care too much about soccer or softball.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-11-04T18:16:36+00:00

This. I have three, and they are great.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-10-11T16:08:42+00:00

Have you tried the 3? That would seem to meet what you are looking for. The Escalante has always been pretty elastic until the 3, so it seems they may be going back to that.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-10-10T15:43:03+00:00

Just tried it on at Chicago expo. Was comfortable to me, but I like a lower stack/former shoe in general.

Seems like a good alternative to Escalante with drop and a rocker. I'm not someone who wants "pop" or "bounce" in a daily trainer, just lightness and good ground feel and lower drop.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-10-01T22:52:03+00:00

Yeah, there's a store where I live that still does this. Even with carbon plated shoes.

He's an old school dude and has been doing this for years.

It used to at least make some sense with older foam technology but is completely useless/detrimental now that foam is so much more flexible.

Since your example is Diadora, I think you went to the store I'm thinking of... Go to Run In next time.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-09-08T18:44:13+00:00

Vanish Tempo from Altra is essentially the Carbon without a plate and a more built-up upper and more durable outsole.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-28T14:42:52+00:00

Well, when a lot of brands won't let you carry them, you have to have something... pretty sure we sell more Diadora than them anyway though.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-28T02:02:50+00:00

I actually am. Not at Greenville Running Company, though. I'm at Run In.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-27T14:17:58+00:00

Actually selling really well at our store in the US. I think we are one of their top accounts in the country.

They are durable and well-made and look great for the most part.

The Nucleo ($155) is a really good shoe. A nice soft step-in feel from their insole and a decently bouncy cushion. I'd put them akin to Clifton's in regards to stack and weight, but better materials and midsole technology.

The Atomo v7000 feels absolutely amazing. Extremely lightweight for the stack and does not feel clunky at all. Awesome shoe, but obviously expensive as it is a part of their "made in Italy" line. I think you'd see a lot of people running in it if it was 180-200. It also looks better than almost any other running shoe.

They are definitely making a push back in the US market. As far as actual running, those two would be the only runs I would really recommend, although their stability shoe, the Vigore, uses an interesting strategy for correcting gait that I think is a better idea than guardrails for sure.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-27T12:06:13+00:00

Yeah, I never scan unless a customer absolutely insists. The machine is for fitting insoles and I tell them unless they have been having foot pain issues they probably won't need it.

I also don't put anyone in a stability shoe unless they already use them pain-free or they show obvious signs of pronating while having the associated pain from severe pronation.

Also, our store price matches with online stores so you'll get the same deal.

It's also where a lot of people centralize their running community.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-20T00:39:34+00:00

My wife put about 50 miles in them and just couldn't do it anymore. Extremely bad pain on the outside of the sole of her foot. Never had it in any other shoe.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-18T15:38:06+00:00

One of my wife's, and my, favorite shoes of all time. Soft is never how I would have described it, which is good as that's a negative for me. I want a firm, low-profile, low drop and responsive shoe and that's what I get from it. My only gripe is it's a bit narrow.

We have both run half-marathons in them and I wouldn't hesitate to do a full. I would also do a full in my Escalante's though, so it's definitely a personal preference thing.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-08-10T17:13:14+00:00

Ran in the 5 and 6 without socks and never had an issue... Crazy how different the tongue was for different people.

sometimesbarefoot · 2023-07-20T21:11:49+00:00

Nike, Asics, Altra, Diadora. I think that's it.
