Ha! Fair question. And yea, especially during SE USA summer runs with like 100% humidity. But I always wear a hat, so that keeps a lot of my, uh, head sweat at bay. Honestly I’ve never had a problem with the AirPods - I’m not an apple shill by any means, but I absolutely love the AirPods.

AirPod Pros with some silicone wing things I grabbed from Amazon to help them stay in place. I don’t need those for day-to-day use, but they’re a must for running. I got them like 3 years ago and haven’t needed to replace them.

And I vote to remove all the Wisconsin Republicans from office effective immediately.

And my “vote” (likely) has the same actual power as theirs.

I’m sure the more bespoke options can be made that way. I just checked the red wing site and it looks like their heritage collection come in at a max of size 14. That said, they generally run big (1-2 sizes) so it might be worth visiting a store and trying something on if you can.

Do you need sneakers, or would boots be an option? If so, that opens the door to Goodyear welted boots whose soles can be replaced when they’re worn out by a cobbler. They’re also generally comfortable (especially after being broken in). You can go from premade boots (e.g., redwing) to custom boots; costs escalate quickly the more bespoke they are, obviously.

There are some Goodyear welted sneakers, but boots are probably easier to find.

I know it’s probably not the most popular suggestion, but the goodyearwelt subreddit is a great place to look for recommendations and reviews and post questions.

It’s old.reddit.com or nothing for me.

I’m your huckleberry.

I honestly wonder if this has ever actually been the case.

Nope. Definitely just you.

Do it. Give in. It’s great.

60 songs that explain the 90s.

Yep. That’s what happens for me, too.

I think that’s infrastructure week.

That or “only following orders.”

Oh, but surely giving Russia that territory will ensure peace for our time! Now go home and get a nice, quiet sleep.

It’s like when some places in the US stopped testing for COVID - no tests = no positive results = no COVID. Flawless logic.

Surely this isn’t a serious question?

Two that I often quote:

Into each life, a little rain must fall. (almost always delivered sarcastically)

And:

Well, people in hell want ice water.

I loved that woman. Wish I would have known her better.

I know the answer would be ridiculous if we ever even got one, but I would love to hear about these intolerable abuses or threats of abuses these people were (and presumably still are since, you know, they weren’t successful) facing. That’s not to say there aren’t people in this country dealing with some pretty intolerable things, but I just don’t seem to see them (or hear about their issues) at Trump rallies.

When Brandi Carlile’s voice cracks and she belts out the chorus near the end of The Story, it’s just incredible. There are better singers, technically, but the pure, raw emotion conveyed is powerful (to me anyway).
