You wouldn’t want to wear a dive watch if you never dive, so why put that feature set on everything? Probably similar thoughts for a lot of these models.

That said, you are correct that they should streamline a little. It’s a ton of nonsense and very frustrating to hide features that are clearly being calculated (HRV) but hidden because you didn’t buy the right model.

One glaring omission for me is the lack of database options in the app store. They have a TINY bit of hard drive dedicated for a third party app. I used to own a Samsung and wrote an app for my gym workouts. It was great, but I like Garmin watches better. But even if I use the available key value pair database on Garmin, it only gives me space for maybe 100 sets before I am out of memory. Useless if you want to track any kind of history for multiple workouts. Same for the disc golf app I made for Samsung. I could technically save enough to play, but my old app has room to let me know all my previous scores per hole at each place I was, etc.

This isn’t a huge amount of space needed for these things. A few MB. But it’s walled away for some random reason. Really limits developers from making good stuff.

Haha thanks. I don’t know why that particular word does not work right in my brain.

Totally agree. Was talking to my brother who worked for the US Corps of Engineers. He said they have a decades long outlook for their projects. So if they want to remove a dam or something, studies are done to make sure that is the smartest move not just for the next few years, but the next several decades.

So refreshing vs the typical “new CEO wants to fire x% of the workforce to generate 1% more profit this year (ignore the fact that customers will leave when it’s that much shittier here… That’s next year’s (and next Ceo’s) problem)”.

That’s a good point. I have not been very politically active besides encouraging friends and family to vote. But I think a campaign for signatures for Star or Ranked Choice voting would be the first step, at least here in Florida since enough signatures should put it on the ballot. But Desantis is pretty good at squashing this stuff since it requires 60% approval. Not sure the method for other states.

Never going to happen until most of all states have ranked choice or star voting. First past the post is basically designed for only 2 parties.

I think the point here is that, rather than endorse a genocide, you endorsed 2 genocides, and everything else that this administration does. I get that even one genocide is too much, but for that one you could be calling your representative and writing letters and doing whatever else you can to people who might care about those actions.

Yeah that’s true. Right now our two big leaders amount to the school bully and maybe an average student. It is a lot to ask the average student to stand up the school bully, even if it’s a lot of other students asking him.

We need real leaders. We need to volunteer ourselves so that the best of us can help lead the country. We keep asking for better but none of us want to step up.

Agree that “at least we aren’t them” doesn’t work. It needs to be more “Republican Matt Gaetz responds to allegations of PEDOPHILIA” and “Home insurance continues to rise under the gross MISMANAGEMENT of Ron Desantis - Floridians fleeing state” and maybe “Many are questioning if Republicans even know HOW to govern, as reliance on money from Democrat run states increases”.

You know, flashy clickbait headlines for the lazy (average) American voter. Republicans have shown even a stupid lie (they are eating the dogs!) told enough times convinces people.

Doing good definitely matters. Getting the message out that you did so apparently matters more.

What we are seeing matters most though, is showing the other side did BAD.

Her campaign was… Fine. It could have used more things like podcasts and such, but I don’t know that could have gotten her what she needed. Her issues were more that the media was stacked against her, and we had insane voter suppression this time around. If she had maybe 6 months instead of 3 to get her name out there, maybe her traditional methods could have worked. She was packing out the venues she was visiting, so there was excitement for her.

She just couldn’t compete with the entire media and voter suppression.

My sister is a nurse. Hospitals are constantly trying to put more and more workload per nurse than is feasible/safe. That sounds like it’s to your point, but it isn’t really. My sister was making like $25 per hour before covid. Her job was to take care of NICU babies. For $25 per hour, with a degree and a fair amount of student loan debt. And they keep adding responsibilities and assume they will work overtime “for the babies”.

Why would anyone want to go to school to get into an underpaid field where literal babies’ lives are constantly in your hands, and the hospital is trying their hardest to decrease their nursing payout by decreasing nursing staff?

We need regulation. Nurses are quitting the field because they cannot handle the stress and the pay certainly isn’t worth it.

I think that’s incorrect. Not against the honey, but the reasoning. I think it can harbor anaerobic bacteria which the child’s immune system is not ready to handle.

I think this is better presented as:

“Oh wait you are FOR fascism?”

“No I’m just against antifa.”

“There is no like, regulating body for this ‘antifa’. It’s just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn’t supporting fascism. If you aren’t a fascist, then you are antifa.”

You overestimate how much nature we step in on a given day. It’s usually basically cement everywhere

Dude I remember that day Jesus rose from the dead. Crazy day. It was… was it Wednesday? I’m not sure. No wait it was definitely Sunday. The first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Yeah that’s when it was. Who could forget that?

Wait what? If Trump walks down 5th avenue and shoots someone, should we blame the gun manufacturer?

US didn’t really ban it because they didn’t like it. While there was a women’s group protesting against the alcoholism in the country, I don’t think it would have had any traction were it not for the anti union push.

Saloons were a great meetup spot to make unions. Everyone from work was already there. If companies could make saloons illegal, it would make it harder to make unions. But there was a problem. The US got a lot of its tax revenue from alcohol taxes.

So they pitched the idea of replacing alcohol tax with income tax, making the budget balance (in fact much improve!). So it got passed to benefit the US government budget, and help the union situation for companies.

It was not prohibited for long. As you stated, it quickly went awry. But it didn’t matter. The US government now gets its income tax, plus alcohol tax now. Saloons became less popular since they were gone long enough for habits to change.

I’m not against gun ownership. I’m against zero gun ownership regulation. Requiring background checks seems like a no brainer but we cannot even get to that part. The next I would suggest is a weekend long course on the proper use, safety, cleaning, and storage of your weapon before you are allowed to buy one. Finally, I think we should have that class reupped every 2 years to keep your license to own the firearm. It’s a dangerous thing to have around and most good gun owners would support some of this, even if it is a hassle. It could be made fun too though. Free ammo for some range practice or something. Maybe a few for the class covers that, I don’t know. Consider it a meetup with other people with similar interests.

What I’m wondering is, we have made strides to synthetically make milk with the use of yeast to make the proteins. So theoretically, we could make any milk. Why are we making cows milk this way?

“I hope we all lose American Democracy to punish my neighbors that don’t hold the exact same political views as me! Now we can ALL be unhappy forever!”
