@Axtremus Sadly, usually men's shoes don't fit me right.
The other thing that happens is I find some shoes that work for me, and they stop making them, or they change something about them so they don't work any more.
That happens a lot actually. Like when the company changes its formula for lotion or shampoo, and suddenly the product that I used to love now smells annoying....

Back to @axtremus 's OP... I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I do (shallow) squats, a whole set of legs exercises lying down, ride the exercise bike almost every day. Take the stairs up every chance I get.
I have the ongoing problem with my foot/heel/achilles, so I can't walk long distances, I can't run or jump. And, like the findings about knee surgery, I suspect that the surgery that's being recommended for me is something to avoid at all costs. (that's a topic for another post)
But all the things I'm doing for my knees really help.
Not moving is the kiss of death.
in the wrong shoes
Trying to find women's shoes that work for me is one of the most frustrating things....
I need a wide toes box, most shoes taper too much.
I need either a good heel rise (but not heels! something like 15mm drop), or else a deep heel cup to accommodate a lift. Most shoes, like walking shoes, running shoes or other exercise shoes, don't have enough heel drop and the heel cup is too narrow. And stack height. I don't need extra cushion underfoot, I don't need a high stack height.
I also need a reasonably stiff sole, not one where you can easily bend the shoe in half.
These shoes do not exist.
@Mark that was lovely! Really nice playing!
And your piano sounds really nice. I have a Zoom audio recorder (no video), IIRC it’s an H4n and recording quality is always nice.
But unfortunately I never use it. I want to have video along with the audio and it’s just too easy to do everything on the phone — record the audio, edit out the beginnings and ends of the clip, and upload straight to YT from the phone.
Anyway, I hoe you’ll share more recordings, I really enjoy your playing!
@Daniel thanks for the update! I wondered how it went, so I'm glad it went well!

@wtg interesting! Good luck to them!
I’ve seen photos of coconut crabs. Terrifying creatures!!
You’ll probably be more pissed when you discover (if you didn’t know) that every time you do a captcha you’ve been training google’s self driving car software (Waymo).
I’ve heard about this but never really read anything official. As you say though, it’s a very clever way to do the training!
@bernard i am another person who has avoided smart home appliances. I hate to think that at some point in the not so distant future, something will break and we won’t be able to avoid replacing it with a smart device. 
@Steve-Miller Lovely! The lights inside the cabinets make it extra nice!
