I have wide feet due to bunions and struggled for a long time to find comfortable shoes, until I found the brand Lems.

Lems are a zero drop, wide toe box brand and it was amazing to finally find shoes that didn't make my feet hurt in any way. They have 3 different lasts, and the product page for each model will say which last it uses. I specifically buy their "widest last" for comfort.

If you're looking for a boot style, I love my Lems Boulder Boots and they're my daily wearers during the colder months. They make a few different versions with different types of outsoles.

    I have read it and enjoyed it. I'd recommend it! It's not super deep, you could definitely read just the first collection, however I think you'd want to keep going after that as the story is quite intriguing.

    We had a very similar experience. Our cat's eyes were green, but one of her eyes slowly started to darken and change pigment over the years. We would keep bringing it up to our vet who told us it wasn't cause for concern.

    Eventually that eye was deep dark brown, so we went to a different vet for a second opinion and they immediately said "that eye has to come out" and referred us to a veterinary cancer specialist.

    We had her eye removed and while we were nervous and felt guilty about it, it was a huge success. Our cat perked WAY up after recovering from the surgery and you'd swear she was a kitten again despite being 11 years old.

    She adapted quickly and the one eye doesn't seem to impact her hardly at all.

    I had a similar situation as you. I got a prescription later in life in my late 20s after never wearing glasses before. One eye had a stronger prescription than the other.

    It took me about 5 days of daily wear to fully acclimate to the prescription. Each day got better than the last, but I definitely felt like you are describing on day 1.

    It isn't a fun process but it will also feel better and your eyes will feel much less strained with the prescription, so it is ultimately worth it.

    To me, the appeal of Fair phone has always been it's repairability. And I think that they view the repairable aspect as a big part of their eco impact, as they intend for people to own their Fairphone for much longer and repair pieces as they need to be buying a new device entirely every 2-4 years.

    My friends and I have been playing this since the recent launch. It's a lot of fun! The map rotates daily so it's a fresh challenge for you to explore every day. I'd recommend starting on the easy "tenderfoot" mode to get a hang of things first.

    Adding work into the shower would diminish it's idea generating powers.

    The reason we are able to come up with good ideas in the shower is that our mind isn't otherwise occupied by doing anything else. We aren't on our phones, watching TV, having a conversation, or working. Our mind has no obligations and the act of cleaning yourself doesn't require much mental load. So our mind is free to drift and think freely about whatever it wants. We don't have many similar times of distraction-free brain freedom in our modern lives.

    Add in a task like taking a meeting, and now you've removed that key no thoughts head empty feature of showers that leads to the brain blast.

    I've played all the LIS games and have been a fan of the series since the original released while I was in college.

    For me, I think my ranking of the games is as followed:

    1. Before the Storm
    2. Life is Strange
    3. Life is Strange 3
    4. Life is Strange 2

    Not including Captain Spirit because it's really more of a companion title and so short. It's a really close tie for me between the original LiS & LiS 3, as I really enjoyed both.

    Before the storm was such a surprise for me and I really enjoyed the way they developed the characters & romance in that title, which makes it stand out for me.

    Despite my love & enjoyment of the series, I really couldn't get into LiS 2. I played the whole game, but I struggled my way through it. I did not like the characters or the plot, and only finished it out of a hope that the ending would be worth it.

     

    Hey all, hoping some more experienced Proton users might be able to help me out here.

    Earlier this week I began the process of switching from Gmail to Proton. I imported the last few months of Gmail messages, set Gmail to forward to Proton for the interim before I can get all my other accounts switched away from that Gmail, and installed the Android proton mail app.

    I'm having the following issues:

    • Proton mail, regardless of if I'm in browser or mobile app, keeps reappearing emails that I delete or mark as spam. I'll delete them, then check my inbox again later and there they are again, unread in my inbox. It'll take 6 or 7 attempts sometimes before an email actually stays deleted.

    -the Android app is sucking crazy amounts of battery. It's not like I receive an insane amount of daily messages, but yesterday Proton mail sucked 40% of my battery. That's from mostly idle use and deleting a handful of emails. That's it. It seems to be pulling an insane amount of juice in the background.

    Anyone know how I can resolve these problems? I want to use proton for their focus on privacy and encryption, but both these issues are deal breakers for me if I can't resolve them.

    Thanks in advance!
