    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_edible_dormouse

    Etymology

    The word dormouse comes from Middle English dormous, of uncertain origin, possibly from a dialectal *dor-, from Old Norse dár ‘benumbed’ and Middle English mous ‘mouse’.

    The word is sometimes conjectured to come from an Anglo-Norman derivative of dormir ‘to sleep’, with the second element mistaken for mouse, but no such Anglo-Norman term is known to have existed.[4]

    The Latin word glis, which is the origin of the scientific name, is from the Proto-Indo-European root *gl̥h₁éys ‘weasel, mouse’, related to Sanskrit गिरि girí ‘mouse’ and Ancient Greek γαλέη galéē ‘weasel’.

    The Wikipedia article slides over the word ‘edible’ like it’s a complete non-problem














  • Generally [source? I’ve heard it] it’s recommended to change them every 600km to 1000km. The issue is not only the upper fabric but the state of the soles, that tend to lose grip and shock absorption and that makes you prone to injuries. But it depends on so many factors (weight, where you run, shape of your foot…)

    That being said, the feeling you get using them should really tell you if they need to be changed. If you feel like hitting bricks when you run and your knees feel sore, maybe look for another pair.

    I’m sure people at the gym are quite happy to see a dedicated person. Nobody gives a fuck about the state of your shoes, aesthetically speaking.
