I’m using it too, but it is very unreliable. I need to restart the program often once a day.

I’m 100% Dutch. I ride road bikes and commuter bikes. I’ve never in my life seen a steel commuter bike break like that. They rust, they bent and they scratch, but they won’t break. Or maybe if you buy a very iffy brand? As a road cyclist I

Zero policy is also co-existence. The choice is not binary, but a sliding scale based on a risk assessment. Now it is known that reinfections incurs additional risk for long term disability, it makes sense to take measures to reduce the ris

FTR, I read this thread. You’re 100% right but probably misunderstood because new generations have not known anything else. To me, when employees took company healthcare insurance in the US as a perk, I think the problems began. It’s worse

The watch faces were something else indeed. Creative, funny and very geeky.

The Pebble 2 was released to the backers of the Kickstarter campaign. I've had 3 different ones over the years (all of them eventually broke down)... (correction, I lost one because the band snapped and the watch dropped into the sea).

Yeah, although the Garmin Fenix 7 is an awesome watch, especially as an amateur athlete, it is ** expensive. Features from the Fenix 7 which I value over Pebble (apart from the obvious): - Materials: titanium and sapphire. Means it is indes

Yes. I had to look it up, because I always control my music via the headphones. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/fenix66s6xpro/EN-US/... (and confirmed for iPhone)

There still is no good replacement for these properties of the Pebble 2 smartwatch: - > 7 days battery life - HR monitor (useful as a sports watch) - < 10 mm thickness - toned down to fit different clothing styles - hackable - high-co

Interesting study. I read most of it and couldn't immediately find any big mistakes. Unfortunately, the study does not compare official government tests. In addition, the study compares up to Q1 2021 (average would be feb 2021). By the

Unfortunately, it was terribly ineffective for that purpose. We closed them to reduce peak hospital admissions in the older population.

Although it is easy to attribute this to school closures, we should not dismiss the possibility of these results being caused by brain damage from (repeated) COVID infections [1, 2, 3]. [1] Douaud, G., Lee, S., Alfaro-Almagro, F. et al. SAR

I would be in camp #2 as well, was it not that we are discovering tests showing evidence of Long COVID. See for example this blog from a long hauler: https://mylongcoviddiaries.medium.com/i-finally-have-a-diagn... There see

We have a very substantial part of the population becoming chronically ill after an infection of a disease labeled “mostly mild”, yet we decided low-key interventions such as masking and air filtration are not worth it.

The article describes a nice hack and doesn't disrespect the audience. I guess that's why it gets upvoted.

"I can use the shell" != "I can write shell scripts" Bash is really difficult to write well (if at all) and too many people don't appreciate this. Of course this leads to instability in shell scripts. Offender numbe

It’s an RCT. What will those measurements contribute? In addition, it is likely the measured serum levels will be lower because they are used up.

I would like to take time to debunk that whole article, but let's just focus on the article [1] I shared and to debunk his argumentation for the preprint article [2]. To begin with, you have to understand that the vitamin D3 supplement

There are many reasons why it's not that simple. 1. We need to dress up to go outside, exposing only minimal amounts of skin. 2. People of color produce less vitamin D (most likely due to skin pigmentation). 3. Pollution and shadows si
