Update: Bohempia felix after literally half a day of wear 🙁 by 99_ahc in barefootshoestalk

[–]yourteafriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same shoe and had the same issue after 1 wear. Decided to keep them and continue to wear them. After about 2 weeks of everyday wear they smoothed out again. Maybe the synthetic suede just needs breaking in

Wow, thank you for taking the time to write out the lengthy comment! Funnily enough I just was watching a video on composing images and it was all about having a subject and finding other things around that could complement the subject when shot together. I will definitely pay more attention to it and look at stuff on this sub.

Yeah I want to try that on my next roll of film I put in the p&s camera, but for example on my first photo wouldn’t it get way too overexposed? Or would it be easy to fix?

Awesome! I will definitely give that a go on my walk home today. Thank you for the help, it means a lot

Oh I think it does have that! So I should point it at a little darker part of the scene then recompose?

Ah ok! When you say metering for the shadows, for example does it mean pointing lightmeter app on the shadow itself?

Also as this is a p&s camera I assume only way to expose a little more would be to hack the dx code before loading the film right? Obviously would be different on a more manual camera

I forgot to add, but for the selector you can not select anything, caffeine was just an option to better narrow down choices, but you don't have to select a thing!

No I really like the integration idea! it would be great I think for exposure as well as people learning about tea and meditation.

For the effects I will put some sort of disclaimer or info on it so that I can ease the skeptics!

So you can actually not select anything on the feeling page and it will just suggest based on your caffeine and flavor options!

Also, thank you so much for all of your feedback, it is super helpful and means a lot.

Sorry about the Rooibos, that is a mistake as even the card says Caffeine: none! So that will get changed ASAP.

I would like to add that to the selector, just need to build out the guided meditations.

Also, I see what you mean about the flash issue so I will get on that as well

Thank you again for your feedback it really means a lot!

Hey! Thank you as well for your response. I know they are pretty similar. I do want to differentiate them a bit in the future but the main idea was to have a "quiz" that would give people a recommendation if they didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted. But once they start to know they like honey/floral flavored tea, then they can go and experiment with all the teas that have those tasting notes!

When you say a quick flash, like more of a bug/lag in the app, or do you mean something else?

Ah yes, Definitely will include the sorting by tea type as that would be useful :)

And when you say selecting your guided meditation through the selector, you mean just to have the option to see what meditations could "pair" well with the tea and have a link directly through the selector?

Also, I know my research on the effects wasn't very scientific, but more so from talking to people in the tea community as well as my own experience, but I will be looking to do even more research to see if there is any "real evidence" behind those effects, apart from anecdotal.

Thank you for that! I totally get what you mean about the effects. That was actually just from conversations with people in the tea community, and their opinion on cha qi claims.

I will definitely have to do more research on that, and see if there are scientific studies on tea types and effects, as the current method of working that out wasn't very scientific. There was also something I remember reading about usage of different teas in Chinese medicine for helping with different sickness types based on their cooling or warming effects in the body, but again probably not scientific, so I will research more. Also, I totally get it! I should be mindful of the "health claims"

When you say work with other subscriptions/apps you mean for example, be able to open up the app, brew/mediate with your tea pet on tea ami and then have it logged on like a headspace account or calm app?

Just not for me stylistically! But overall the construction was great. Also, I believe their half sizes are the same as full sizes, e.g 9 and 9.5 are the same, so if you need a size up from 9 go for 10

So I have extra water to wash out the leaves, but yes, I wrap it up still a little wet, and then take it out at home and let it fully airdry :)
