Ok so… I’m trying to dress a little more preppy, and the last thing I need to figure out is my shoes.

The problem is that one of my feet has an issue that makes walking sometimes a bit painful, so I need shoes that are thick, soft, and honestly kind of chunky. The more cushioning the better, especially around the sole and sides. Think New Balance 574 (my current shoes).

Unfortunately, that seems to rule out most classic preppy shoes. Loafers, boat shoes, canvas sneakers, and similar styles are all pretty low-profile and don’t have the support or padding I need.
Are there any shoes that still fit a preppy style while meeting those comfort requirements, or am I basically screwed when it comes to footwear? Thanks.

TLDR: Need thick comfy sneakers, but would like them to be a bit preppy.

Regarding matter over thread smart plugs, is the Eve plug still worth the higher price now that the much cheaper Grillplats is available? I’m interested in hearing about people’s experiences with both and what, if anything, justifies the price difference. Thanks!

Just a smart plug that doesn’t click. I believe these are called solid state relays? Amazon Alexa ai is claiming to me that meross smart plugs use SSR and is completely silent, but I’m not sure if it’s just hallucinating that detail or not. Does anyone know of any smart plugs like this? Thanks.

Before you tell me what a dumb question this is, here's some context: I have a foot problem in which one of my heels stick up a bit (can't go totally flat on ground). Thus, even when wearing no-show socks with my sneakers during the summer, one sock will always slightly peek above the shoe. My question is what's the best color to hide it? Should it match the color of your shoe or the color of your skin?

Constant and frequent changes to the button placement and menu screens. Sometimes they change something about the layout that makes it objectively worse, only to change it back to the original way a couple months later. Like what are they doing?

Thinking of taking my chambray and OCBD shirts to a tailor to shorten them for wearing untucked. But I’m getting mixed advice on Reddit; some people are saying traditionally only straight hem shirts could be worn untucked while other people are saying make sure the tailor preserved the original scallop shape. Which should I do? I’m leaning toward straight, but will that look wrong on these shirt types? Thanks.

Here’s an example of a shirt that I have.

I have an Oxford button down shirt I’d like to hem to be an untucked straight edge. But a lot of straight-edge hemmed shirts I see have side vents, or splits, on either side. Would it be weird if I didn’t include these? Are they optional as long as the fit is good? They just seem hard to make is all.

It’s suddenly telling me this now even though the images I ask for have absolutely nothing to do with any of that.

It might be my fault or a gap in my skills, I honestly don't know. But I'm an entry-level Instructional Designer with a couple years of experience, and I haven't been able to land a job lasting more than a month and a half (only one contract job) since I was laid off three years ago. Time and again, interviewers cut things short and jump straight to "do you have any questions?" And of course, no one's going to tell me why.

I always research how to do better in interviews: practicing likely questions, walking through my design process. But between these interview patterns and how wildly different the skills/tools requirements are from company to company, I'm starting to think this field is just too inconsistent or niche for someone at my level to break back into.

After another interview where it was cut short, I think I'm done. Since no one in this field wants to hire me, I'm going to try to move on into something else...

I have an SE 3 and an iPhone 16 Pro and I'm wondering — does the SE 3 actually support the new Siri AI features, or is that limited to Series 10 and newer? I've seen conflicting info where some sources say the SE 3 supports watchOS 27, but others suggest Apple Intelligence features are only on Series 10+. Can anyone clarify what Siri AI functionality (if any) the SE 3 actually gets?
