2023.06.01 18:11 Educational-Plum3469 Recent update slowed down old Mac
Just updated my macbook 2010. Worked like a charm with high Sierra up until this recent update, which I only did because my computer no longer recognized my iPhone (which I just updated). Now my computer is practically unusable. Like, really slow. Every time I launch anything there is a 5 minute waiting period for it to open (or not open).
Any ideas?

2023.06.01 18:10 DagothHertil MoonSharp or How we combined JSON and LUA for game ability management
Introduction
During the development of our card game Conflux we wanted to have an easy way to create various abilities for our cards with different effects and at the same time wanted to write smaller amount of code per ability. Also we wanted try and add a simple modding capability for abilities.
Format we introduced
Some of you may be familiar with
MoonSharp LUA interpreter for C#, often use in Unity engine to add scripting support to your game. That's what we took as a base for writing the code for abilities. Each ability can subscribe to different events such as whenever a card takes damage, is placed on the field or ability is used manually on some specific targets. Besides having event handlers we needed a way to specify some metadata like mana cost of abilities, cooldown, icon, etc. and in the first iteration of the system we had a pair of JSON metadata file and LUA code file.
It was fine initially but we quickly realized that abilities typically have ~20 lines of JSON and ~20 lines of LUA code and that having two files per ability is wasteful so we developed a simple format which combines both the JSON and LUA.
Since LUA code could never really be a valid JSON (unless you are ok with slapping all the code into a single line or is ok with escaping all the quotes you have) we put the JSON part of the abilities into the LUA script. First LUA block comment section within the script is considered as a JSON header.
Here is an example of "Bash" ability in LUA (does damage and locks the target cards):
--[[ { "mana_cost": 0, "start_cooldown": 0, "cooldown": 3, "max_usage": -1, "icon": "IconGroup_StatsIcon_Fist", "tags": [ "damage", "debuff", "simple_damage_value" ], "max_targets": 1, "is_active": true, "values": { "damage": 5, "element": "physical" }, "ai_score": 7 } --]] local function TargetCheck() if Combat.isEnemyOf(this.card.id, this.event.target_card_id) then return Combat.getAbilityStat(this.ability.id, "max_targets") end end local function Use() for i = 1, #this.event.target_card_ids do Render.pushCardToCard(this.card.id, this.event.target_card_ids[i], 10.0) Render.createExplosionAtCard("Active/Bash", this.event.target_card_ids[i]) Render.pause(0.5) Combat.damage(this.event.target_card_ids[i], this.ability.values.damage, this.ability.values.element) Combat.lockCard(this.event.target_card_ids[i]) end end Utility.onMyTargetCheck(TargetCheck) Utility.onMyUse(Use)
Inheritance for abilities
It may be a completely valid desire to have a way to reuse the code of some abilities and just make some small adjustments. We solved this desire by having a merge function for JSON header data which will look for a parent field within the header and will look for the data based on the ID provided in this parent field. All the data found is then merged with the data provide in the rest of the current JSON header. It also does it recursively, but I don't foresee actually using this functionality as typically we just have a generic ability written and then the inherited ability just replaces all it needs to replace.
Here is an example on how a simple damaging ability can be defined:
--[[ { "parent": "Generic/Active/Elemental_projectiles", "cooldown": 3, "icon": "IconGroup_StatsIcon01_03", "max_targets": 2, "values": { "damage": 2, "element": "fire", "render": "Active/Fireball" }, "ai_score": 15 } --]]
So as you can see there is no code as 100% of it is inherited from the parent generic ability.
The way a code in the child ability is handled is that the game will execute the LUA ability files starting from the top parent and will traverse down to the child. Since all the logic of abilities is usually within the event handlers then no actual change happens during the execution of those LUA scripts (just info about subscriptions is added). If the new ability you write needs to actually modify the code of the parent then you can just unsubscribe from the events you know you want to modify and then rewrite the handler yourself.
MoonSharp in practice
MoonSharp as a LUA interpreter works perfectly fine IMO. No performance issues or bugs with the LUA code execution as far as I see.
The problems for us started when trying to use VS code debugging. As in it straight up does not work for us. To make it behave we had to do quite a few adjustments including:
- Create a new breakpoint storage mechanism because existing one does not trigger breakpoints
- Add customizable exception handler for when the exception occurs within the C# API. By default you just get a whole load of nothing and your script just dies. We added a logging and automatic breakpoint mechanism (which is supposed to be there but just does not work)
- Proper local/global variables browser. Existing one just displayed (table: 000012) instead of letting you browse variables like a normal human being.
- Passthrough of Unity logs to VS code during debugging. This one worked out of the box for the most part when errors were within the LUA code, but anything that happens in our C# API is only visible in Unity console (or Player.log) and when breakpoint is triggered good luck actually seeing that log with Unity screen frozen and logs not flushed yet (can flush the logs in this case I guess too?)
What is missing
While we are mostly satisfied with the results the current implementation there are a couple things worth pointing out as something that can be worked on:
- When you are done writing the ability you can't really know if the code you wrote is valid or if the data within the JSON header is valid. Linters within VS code I tried either complain about LUA code when highlighting JSON or ignore JSON when highlighting LUA code
- Good luck killing infinite loop within the LUA code (though same is true for C#). Execution limit needs to be implemented to avoid that problem, better to have invalid game state then having to kill the process.
- By placing the metadata of the abilities within the same code file you lock yourself out of the opportunity to have a unified place to store all your ability metadata (e.g. having a large data sheet with all the values visible to be able to sort through it and find inconsistencies). This can be addressed by having a converter from those LUA files to say CSV file or having a dedicated data browser within the game
Why not just write everything in LUA?
It is possible to convert the JSON header part into a LUA table. With this you get a benefit of syntax highlight and comments. The downside is that now to read the metadata for the ability you have to run a LUA VM and execute the script if you want to get any info from it. This implies that there will be no read-only access to ability information because the script will inevitably try to interact with some API that modifies the game state (at the very least adds event listener) or you will need to change the API to have a read-only mode.
Another point is that having a simple JSON part in the file let's you use a trivial script to extract it from the .lua file and it then can be used by some external tools (which typically don't support LUA)
TL;DR
Adding JSON as a header to LUA has following pros and cons compared to just writing C# code per ability:
Pros:
- Can hot-swap code with adjustments for faster iteration
- No compilation required, all the scripts can be initialized during the scene loading process
- Can evaluate the same code an ability would use within a console for testing
- Allows abilities to be modded into the game with lower possibility of malicious code (as long as exposed API is safe)
Cons:
- Requires compatibility layer between C# and LUA (you will still have to write API in C# to reduce the code bloat, but there is an extra layer that you need to write to pass this API to LUA)
- MoonSharp VS code debugging is buggier than using VisualStudio debugger for C#
- Doesn't really reduce the number of lines of code you need to manage. While you avoid boilerplate code, with smart management of this boilerplate code you can reduce it down to just a good base class implementation for your abilities with almost no overhead

2023.06.01 18:10 shortstory1 The boat is small
Hodon made himself ill on purpose to lose weight, so that he could be one of the special ones and be hugged by jokon, the one who hugs the special ones. Jokon is carrying a million special ones inside his arms wherever he goes, and hodon wants to be next. Hodon is constantly ill by not sleeping properly and being cold, this has done wonders for his weight, and he can sense jokon coming closer to him, and a little space opening up for him so he could be part of the hugged as the special ones. It is not enough though though and hodon is determined to be part of the special ones.
Hodons lupus is really making him skinny and he wants to make sure that he could just about, stay alive, to experience being part of the special ones. Hodon became jealous when he saw another person being hugged by jokon, the others being hugged inside jokons arms had created some space for the new guy. Everyone wants to be hugged by jokon and it is a privilege. Hodon is becoming really skinny and is determined to stay like till the start of time. Hodon will be part of the special ones even in the end of time, and the restart of time.
Hodon was glad that his shingles was keeping him skinny, and he saw space being created inside jokons huge arms. All those people being hugged by jokon, he carries them wherever he goes. Hodon started walking towards jokon as he though it was his time to be part of the special ones. Hodon was so proud of himself he spoke out loud "I will be part of the special ones till the start of time, and the end of time, and the restarting of time" but hodon became disappointed when the space in jokons hugging arms wasn't for him, but for someone else.
Hodon was disappointed but still hopeful that his cancer will still make him more skinny. He was hopeful that his aids disease would make him more skinnier than ever, and he will be part of the special ones and be part of the hugging inside jokons huge arms. Hodon is hopeful that his malaria will make him so skinny, that he would be able to hear the singing of the special ones inside jokons hugging arms. Hodon is determined and he will do this just like the time he pushed his brother into the snake pit.
Jokon has come closer to hodon and it is nearly his time. His disease the influenza has now made him so skinny, he so close to being special.

2023.06.01 18:10 TurtleTimeline Raspberry Pi, ChatGPT, and the Digitally Analog Camera
https://turtletimeline.com/raspberry-pi-chatgpt-and-the-digitally-analog-camera/ Bridging the digital and analog realms in photography with Raspberry Pi, eInk display, and ChatGPT
Photography has always been about encapsulating moments, bottling up time in a frame to savor later. The charm of the Polaroid camera, with its instantly gratifying, tangible capture of life’s fleeting instants, is a timeless allure. Now imagine intertwining this nostalgic appeal with the digital efficiency of our current age.
This thought sparked the Digitally Analog Camera. Melding
Raspberry Pi’s compact computing prowess, distinctive eInk display technology, and code generated with
ChatGPT, this novel camera is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nostalgia and advancement, redefining our engagement with the art of photography.
A tribute to the Polaroid legacy
Do you remember the Polaroid camera? It encapsulated moments instantly into a physical photo – a tangible memory to keep and cherish. This project harnesses the essence of the Polaroid, infusing it with a dose of modern technological advancement, creating a camera that merges the digital and analog domains.
The power of Raspberry Pi and eInk display
This innovative camera employs Raspberry Pi, a compact computer module known for its versatility in a wide array of projects. Additionally, the camera utilizes an eInk display, which stands apart from conventional LCD or LED screens. The display operates on microcapsules that shift between black and white based on electrical pulses, maintaining the displayed image indefinitely once the power is turned off.
From concept to creation
The creation of the Digitally Analog Polaroid Camera follows a simple yet effective procedure. A press of a button triggers a script, activating the Raspberry Pi and the camera module. The image captured is then enhanced with custom artistic effects, courtesy of a custom code generated with ChatGPT. The image, now stored within the Raspberry Pi, is sent to the eInk display, showcasing it until the next photo is taken.
Bringing ideas to life
This camera doesn’t just bridge the digital-analog divide; it brings creative ideas to life, enabling even those without a background in coding to engage with the process. The design and assembly of the camera casing, combined with the potential for added functions, makes this project both an innovative and interactive venture.
From the designer’s desk
“Overall, I’m thrilled with how this project turns out and I’m so grateful for ChatGPT’s help,”
Nico Tangara, the designer of the Digitally Analog Polaroid Camera, commented. The camera presents a unique blend of old and new, promising a captivating photographic experience.
Capturing the future, remembering the past
As we reflect on this innovative endeavor, we see more than just a nostalgic homage to the Polaroid era. We see a vision of how technology can complement and enhance our innate human fondness for tangible memories. In this fusion, lies a reminder that advancement and nostalgia are not mutually exclusive but can coexist and enrich each other in profound ways.

2023.06.01 18:09 the_alpha_gray 30 [F4M] Just looking for new connections, through conversations, comments, and the like.
TLDWR? Believe me. It's not as dragging nor nonsensical as you think. LOL
Already gained great friends from here and I'd love more. I like exchanging ideas and seeing things in different perspectives and I appreciate that they vent out without hesitation. Be the help they need.
I like being, to quote one of them, "the breath of fresh air" they were looking for.
If you've seen this post before, don't worry. I've found people, lots actually. It's just that I tend to distill them down to one, two, or three people every time I post. Distilled to those whom I have truly connected with and those who truly understand what I need.
I'm not looking for anyone more than new connections, just friends to expand my current network. I'm in a relationship, so I'm looking for something PLATONIC.
Just a heads up, I'm usually up at night. I like the quiet time. So, expect late night conversations, late lunches. I'm up in the morning but not really in the entertaining mood because that's the latter part of my day.
So..., I'm from the South of Manila. But I grew up in the East. Not too far south.
So again, I'm looking for people who are fun to talk to, if it works out, I hope it turns out to be a regular thing. I would love to have new friends to share memes with and the occasional ranting. Constants would be nice, that'll be comforting.
Let's be spontaneous, It'll be amazing if you're a great conversationalist.
About you:
● It's okay if you're significantly younger or older, as long as you're not ageist.
● Totally fine if you won't send pics, since I don't think pictures would have any bearing to just talking over the phone. I'm just mainly asking for voice calls. I like it old school. Just so you know, I won't send you mine (my pics) unless we're comfy with each other, so please refrain from asking me for some in the get-go. So no pressure, I don't need to know how you look like, I don't even care how you look like. I just want someone whom I can talk to.
● Hopefully you're from the South so that if things go well we can prolly hangout in the future, nothing NSFW. Just platonic. I already have a partner so just to be perfectly clear: I am not looking for a hook up.
This is really important:
Why pick guys?
Most of the stuff I like are more manly stuff than girly stuff. Not being s*xist here, it's just a matter of convenience.
SIDEBAR: Just to be blunt, since some might misinterpret this part as something that may come off that I think I'm better than other girls (which I find extremely toxic), I'm just saying this part just so I won't waste my time and yours, in finding out we don't share common interests after I EXPLICITLY SAID THAT I LIKE MORE MALE-DOMINATED INTERESTS than those interests that are socially female-dominated. Don't misconstrue this for something else.
● You can be from any school, totally fine, as long as you're not a know-it-all or condescending. But if it matters, I'm from the Big 4. Went to grad school since I was supposed to teach. Didn't continue since it's too far from the South, don't wanna go all the way to QC from teaching in Manila.
● You can be married, in a relationship, single, or confused about whatevewhoever you want in life, I won't have any judgments towards you. I'm not looking for anything more than just having people whom I could talk to on the daily. I'm open for whatever.
About me:
● My profile says a lot about me, so if you want, you can check it out to get a gist of what you're about to delve into. Once you've seen my profile, it ain't all about sx , *I hope you know how to read between the lines.** If my music taste matters, you can ask for my playlist. The movies on my bio are the movies that best describe me and my life.
● I like voice calls. Don't worry, my voice is tolerable, I do voiceover work professionally. PLEASE DON'T ASK ME FOR SAMPLES. I find that tad annoying.
● For those who want to know how I look like: I'm not a looker. Let's leave it at that. LOL
Updating this part: I may look good to others, I may not look good to you. It's just that I exist not to please anyone so don't be disappointed if I ain't the one you expect because I'm not here to please you. I'm not fugly. I'm not thin. I'm not fat. I have a mix of Chinese-Spanish traits. Figure it out yourself if you really wanna know how I look like.
● I write for a living (and NO, I don't write novels, short stories, or poetry, or fiction). Used to work in media, now I'm in a related field.
● I had to add this, coz recently I've had guys who had misinterpreted how I am. So I'm innately sweet, not really clingy (unless you want me to be), and most guys whom I have talked to had misinterpreted this as "feelings". It isn't. You would know if I really have feelings for you, believe me.
● If you have a false sense of privacy, spare me. If you want more than the online facade please, know what to offer. I grind my teeth with the idea of fake profiles and assumptions. So, SPARE ME.
We can talk about anything, ranging from SFW topics to NSFW ones. But please, don't ask me for a list of topics I like or hate. I prefer spontaneity.
Just so we're clear, I am not open to hooking up. Never was. I'm not posting to get laid. This ain't one of those posts that are guised as an SFW post. I really just need a different perspective on things. New ideas. Get to know new people. I'm more open to be intimate, but not s*xual--if you get my drift,* I just want to meet new people since I rarely go out to mingle, I'd rather expand my network by talking to people who would want this kind of set up to start. It's something I do for work as well since I need to know more about other people so that I'd be more sensitive to different kinds of personalities and thought processes. And about being constants, well, it's not for a relationship. I am already in one.
Please don't start the conversation with anything s*xual, I'd appreciate that A LOT. The "we can talk about anything" isn't my consent for you to say literally anything to me. I hope you get what I mean.
I've encountered people who do not practice proper etiquette and just blabbed their way into starting a conversation with me with no regard if what they're saying is TOO INVASIVE to start off, OFFENSIVE, or just downright UNFILTERED. AGAIN, do not take "we can talk about anything" literally. It's not a pass to leave your manners outside the door.
If you want pieces of ADVICE, THEN ASK FOR SOME. You don't have to delve into the details of my personal life before you ask anything.
You can ask me for NSFW advice, or anything that won't lead to being asked if we could hook up. Again, I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A HOOK UP. I have reiterated that enough.
Just looking for people who are sensible and interesting to talk to. As regularly as possible, since I struggle with object permanence with people who just say "hi" when they want to. :)
If you want solid, no BS pieces of advice, just ask away. I won't judge you.
I prefer intros other than "hi", "hey", "hello". Please don't be uncouth.
This post might be long but if you had the time to read it, I appreciate that you're keen with details.
See you in a bit.

2023.06.01 18:08 dukki98 Dear T17... We need to talk!
First I will start with the good:I LOVE both the new maps, they're beautiful, they play well and they play very differently from all the other maps in the game! El Alamein needs good MGs, Snipers, Tankers and AT gun crews to work, and the whole team needs to be coordinated and have a good grasp of map control to win! Driel I like just a bit less, as it feels a bit cheap to cross the water anywhere I want, but I guess that's better than Remagen... A system of pontoon bridges on one side and shallow water and island crossing on the other would be better I think, instead of being able to cross the river under the bridge where no one is looking! Also, some open houses with second-floor windows would be nice for Driel! Both maps do need some optimization, as they stutter a lot, and drop FPS in some locations and sight lines, but that will probably get fixed in a patch.
Now for the bad:Both the British and the Germans need at least 1 set of FREE desert uniforms! Anything else, you monetize, I don't care, so long as there's a single desert option like there's a winter one!
As for the gameplay itself, these are all possible options to balance the Brits (and Soviets) out and fix the other U14 issues (From a +1000h HLL Vet):
- You need to improve the sight design and strafe behavior of ALL British weapons to match other factions! Lower the flip-up ladder on the Lewis and just give it a V-notch, make the aperture and front post on Sten slimmer, also, slim down the Bren aperture a bit maybe? Lee Enfield No.4 has perfect sights, don't touch them!
- Give all Brits the Lee Enfield No.4 as the starting weapon, P14 should be optional or removed except for snipers! No.4 has absolutely GREAT sights and 10 round mag! Give them a Semi-Auto pistol (like the Browning Hi-Power) for MG and tanker classes, like you did for the Soviets, the Germans have 2 semi-auto options. Also, give them more Sten, less Lanchester! It should stay in for variety, but it shouldn't be the Brit's main SMG
- Give L-E rifles a RAPID bolt cycle rate like IRL (They don't have a semi-auto rifle like the Germans) and increase the range of all rifles from 200m 1HK to 250 or 300m 1HK, this will help a lot of people not feel cheated out of kills when they hit a target 201m away on the new very open, long sight line maps. Currently, if you hit someone with a bolt action once, they quickly zig-zag to cover, use a bandage and then continue on their merry way, zigzagging again making it impossible to hit them even once, let alone twice!
- Add a bipod to Bren and increase 1-Hit-Kill to 200m (or just 150 because you can aim it without a bipod deployed?) like rifles and other MGs, it fires a full-size caliber like them.Also, do this to FG42 (this will actually give us a reason to use an FG42 instead of the STG, as currently, it is inferior in every way: Sights, Recoil, Mag Size, Ammo carried) and BAR, but not STG44, it should stay 100m 1HK as it fires a much smaller caliber than Rifles, LMGs, and Auto Rifles! I, personally, would also love to see German MG get the option of an FG42 loadout, like the US has the BAR, but that's just me!
- Give the default Brits' ASSAULT loadout a DRUM mag Thompson, and a Sten for the Saboteur ASSAULT loadout, the Bren makes no sense with the Satchel! It's a very heavy, very wrong gun to run up to a tank with or storm an enemy compound and blow it up! The Bren should be an option for the AUTOMATIC RIFLEMAN and the MG, we don't need up to 3 Brens per 6-man Squad! This should also be done with the STG44 loadout for Germans, a satchel + most versatile gun in the game + grenade + 2 smokes makes no sense! Give German ASSAULT with a satchel the FG42, and move the STG44 to the other loadout!
- Add the Universal Bren Carrier for the British instead of the M2 halftrack, yes it has less troop capacity than the other ones, but no, that will not be a problem as nobody uses them as troop transports! Also, giving us a single halftrack instead of (or with) the standard transport truck @ one of the HQs at the start of each game would be really great, helping both teams establish a presence at the front immediately, if they use it correctly! Maybe even a jeep at one HQ at the start of the game, for the commander to use! They don't need to respawn like all the other starting vehicles, just let us use them at the start of each game, even if we have to spawn them in ourselves!
- Remove STG44 and FG42 (maybe even replace the G43 with a slower, 2x clip-reloading G41?) from maps that shouldn't have them! (El Alamein, Kharkov, Kursk, Stalingrad), especially as the Soviets & Brits have no equivalent (except for the SVT-40 on the Soviet side)!
- Give MG42 (and MG34) a realistic DRUM mag size of 50 (or 75 double drum for MG34) rounds instead of 250, as you did to the DP27 and Lewis, just 47 rounds in the PAN mag. Yes, Lewis also had a 97-round mag... This will have the added benefit of making the MG34 PART OF THE META, and not just an inferior MG 42 in every way, as it will use up that little drum of ammo much slower! MG mains (me) WILL complain, fuck, I will be really sad too, but it has to be done! The current system makes ZERO sense, realism for the bad LMGs, fantasy for the MG42? Also, a more realistic amount of ammo carried (6 drums of 50 instead of 250) by MG players would necessitate actually coordinating with the squads' Support or Riflemen for ammo more often, which is ALWAYS a good thing!
- The MG role could also choose between a drum fed and belt fed loadout, and if the belt fed is chosen, he could not hip fire the MG on the move, he would have to stop, drop a box of belt ammo, deploy the bipod, load in a belt and then AND ONLY THEN be able to fire! That way MGs on Omaha retain their 250 round belts without it being overpowered! If he wants to move position, he has to take out the belt, remove the bipod, pickup the belt ammo box and then he can move off to another spot! The British could get the Vickers K for this, the Soviets maybe the DShK or the Maxim?
Ok, now for the movement:
A soldier who passed basic training could easily run MUCH FASTER than the current in-game speed (or than the average speed of a top marathon runner at the time), even with essential combat gear (which was not that much, between 15-25lbs or 7-11kg), for 100-500m, or in other words: 1/420th (NICE!) to 1/84th of a marathon-length, which is 42km! ALL HLL maps are just 2x1km!
Could he ADS so fast coming out of that run? NO!Would his aim sway a lot before he would catch his breath? YES!Could he change direction or "zigzag" with ZERO loss of speed? NO!Could he start and stop a sprint instantly, on the spot? NO!Could he dolphin dive and get back up to start running again instantly? NO!
These are all problems that need addressing (even if the old run comes back!), but the speed at which we run in the game is neither unrealistic, nor a major problem for gameplay if all these other problems are solved! Maybe the tanks should get a 10% boost too, I'm not sure about that, I don't tank enough to have an educated opinion on it, so I would love a tankers input!
I like that we are finally able to run and dive to cover, it feels like my soldier ACTUALLY CARES FOR HIS LIFE NOW AND IS SCARED OF BEING SHOT (That's why I will defend both the new speed and the dive to prone to death!), but you shouldn't be able to chain these moves to glide across the ground! I wouldn't be opposed to lowering the speed just a bit, back to 110% of what it was (or the new speed could work just for the first 100-200m after which the old one kicks in, and you have to stop and wait or walk before your quick sprint recharges), but the old speed should definitely not come back!
P.S. Where's the Crusader tank at El Alamein?

2023.06.01 18:08 TheSplendidShinobi Are Ultraboosts just not compatible with my feet?
| I recently found a great deal on a pair of Ultraboost 5.0 DNAs in my size (8.5M). This was my first time buying Ultraboosts, and I was very excited. They only had one pair left, and it was my usual size, so I thought it was the perfect time to grab my first pair. When I tried them on, I could feel they were a bit tight, but the employee at the store said that they would stretch out over time, so I went ahead and got them. I wore them to try breaking them in for a couple of weeks, no luck. All that would happen is that the top of my feet would start to ache and my ankles would feel really tight. So I started doing research online, and found out that you're supposed to go .5 size up with Ultraboosts and take the insole out. (The size up I can get behind, but I'm not wearing a shoe without an insole). Oh well, I can't return them so that's that. I do see the potential though, as even though they are very tight on top, the cushioning on the bottom is unmatched. So, next time I saw a great deal, I got myself some Ultraboost 22s in size 9M, which is .5 bigger than my normal shoe size. I wear them just in my room in order to get a feel for them. 5 minutes in, my feet start going numb due to what feels like loss of blood circulation. So, I loosen the laces as far as they go and remove them from the top eyelets. Still extremely tight and making the top of my feet hurt and go numb. I've had them on for about 8 hours now, and they don't feel like they are stretching. Compare this to 3 pairs of NMDs I've bought (R1 TR, R1 V2, V3) all in my normal 8.5 size, which fit perfectly and felt amazing. Is this a known issue with Ultraboosts? Are they just not compatible with some people's feet? I'm not going to take the insoles out. Looking to see if anyone else has encountered this, or overcome this issue?

2023.06.01 18:07 -gauvins Stainless stained?
Brought a pack of Feathers while bikepacking. I shave once a week and put the used blade back on top of the fresh blades (still wrapped in paper) stored in their plastic distributor.
After 4-5 shaves (i.e. weeks) I've placed the used blade in the disposal compartment and opened a fresh blade. To my surprise, a fairly large proportion of the blade surface was marred with rust. Aren't these stainless blades???
I have a blade dryer, (small container for used-but-still -good blade) that I'll use next time. Still, I would rather use a single store.
- Is there a simple way to protect fresh blades against rust?
- Would you use a blade showing rust on its surface (edges appeared clean)?

2023.06.01 18:06 Just_Askin_Questionz Residing our house soon, a few contractors have recommended blown in insulation
Some context: Our house has a ton of woodwork on the inside, so we don't really want to start a huge indoor project (we just redid two bathrooms, and with two kids under 2 it was intense). We DO have to redo the siding, it's pretty shot. We had an energy audit and they said our insulation was pretty horrible (house is from 73), and we wouldn't want to pull of the sheetrock and do the insulation due to all the interior work we just feel like we're recovering from as well as all the interior wood detailing we don't want to mess up.
Would blown in insulation be a good bet once the house is all torn down outside like a few of the contractors have recommended? I've heard it settles after a bit, but part of me is also like "well nows the time while everything is open on the outside if we're going to do this"?
A contractor friend said he doesn't trust it very much, especially since we DO have insulation in the walls, just not sure if it has degraded over time? It's also mostly in the upper level that we feel two rooms get too hot/too cold, so mabye it would be worth it to inspect just those rooms? Anyways, I'm going on and on.
Does anyone have any thoughts on blown in in the scenario where you don't want to mess with the interior? We're also wondering if it's mostly just the heat exchange/drafter we're getting from the bad siding, and wrapping+siding will solve the issue?
Thank you, hopefully that makes sense

2023.06.01 18:06 Interesting-Ad4293 Whatsapp Desktop asking for a "codec Opus" to speed up audios
Hi there, I bought a new notebook recently (galaxy book2 360, if it is relevant), and I'm having some problem listening to audios on the whatsapp app for windows.
Although I can hear them, when I try to speed them up, I get a message saying I need an Opus codec to do so and a link to the Microsoft store that leads to the "web media extensions", but when I open this all it shows is Microsoft options on movies and tv shows.
Does anyone know how to "fix" this?

2023.06.01 18:06 NorthFinland So they just fully gave up on the Earl intros? Also, they are really are cutting back on new content.
Its been a while now of just Vito generic opening. Did anyone say anything about it? I know they kept saying they would stop Earl doing it but never said he was done for good.
Also ever since the shortening of the show they really don't do much anymore. An hour of talking and then it will just go into a replay of an interview or an unmasked. How much longer until they just pull the plug?
