Hi all! I'm a big fan of comfortable shoes and I've been wearing eccos for years now. However I've recently come to realise that they cannot be repaired (something to do with the material they're made from).

I'm on the hunt for a new pair of sneakers that are equally comfortable and also repairable.

For context, I spend a lot of time outdoors in a cool temperate climate so the shoes must be waterproof (i.e. leather or equivalent) as well as able to withstand hours of being walked in. I'm also in an urban environment so style is a consideration. I'm not looking for anything with bright colours or fancy designs, but moreso something simple and versatile that I can wear to work, on my bike and to the pub.

If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears! I've recently been looking at some ON trail running shoes but I've been reading mixed things about their ability to withstand heavy use. Plus I've no idea how they compare to ecco in terms of how comfy they are so if anyone has any experience with both I'd love to hear it.

Thanks in advance!

I just dropped off my mate to the emergency dept and the staff wouldn't let me stay with him. He's thankfully OK now but needs to stay in overnight. Can anyone suggest some memes to send to him to get him through the night? Maybe hospital related, maybe just wholesome ones.

I've been making the same three bean chilli and lentil and chickpea dahl for years now and I'm trying to expand my repertoire for midweek meals.

I'm not an amazing cook so I like to make a big pot of something that I can freeze and eat over the course of a few weeks.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

The three bean chilli recipe is easy AF:

Ingredients: 3x tins of different beans (I usually go for kidney, black beans and canneloni)

1x Tin sweetcorn

1 onion, chopped

2 Bell peppers, chopped

Jalapeños, chopped

Vegetable stock cube

Tin tomatoes

Cumin

Paprika

Hot chilli powder

Cayenne pepper

Salt & pepper

I throw the whole lot in a slow cooker. Then I fill one of the tins with water and throw that in too. Then leave on high for 4 hours.

I can't remember how much of the seasoning the original recipe said to put in. I measure that with my heart ♥

I stopped drinking on the 18th of March 2023. Because of where I live and how my culture socialises, this was a huge step. But to be honest, in hindsight it was just something I'd been putting off for a long time. The hangovers did just become a nightmare to deal with, plus I didn't feel like I was doing well with my personal relationships because of it. I'm glad to have all that time back, although I miss part of the social aspect. I'm working on creating a sober social life but it's very early days.

How has your sobriety journey been for you?

I absolutely loved using r/stopdrinking as a resource. Now that I'm not on reddit so much I'd love to find a new community here! Has anyone created a sobriety community on the fediverse yet?
