I am a runner and when I go for runs I don't take my phone with me. I have a Garmin watch that has music storage (which I also use for podcasts & audiobooks) and some basic navigation/mapping functionality (which I've ne

A bit out of the loop on this, anyone know Carmack's stance on this? Seems like a huge step in the direction of what we afraid of when Fb acquired Oculus.

> The hives might be a shellfish allergy. I considered this too, but never had problems eating shellfish. Tho it's possible that in higher quantities the allergens from shellfish were indeed the cause.

Def the supplement, it was the Glucosamine.

A bit over decade ago when I started running (& cycling) hardcore I had some knee pain and started taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin supplements for it. It seemed to work, maybe it was placebo effect, but regardless I was "sold

At the very least it's a really cool talking point and way to lead into crypto, esp. when talking to kids about it. And some cool dice ;)

I feel like this effort is more for people who commute/ride from point A to point B as you said; another way to put it is, it is more for people who are _not_ actively training. If/when I'm training with power I don't m

Jumping in here because of a pet peeve, since we're discussing "in the US" things. It blows my mind how people have fallen for the trick of not having sales tax included in discussed prices, and continue to exclude it as if

Fascinating, thanks! I knew most of these points in some fashion, but wasn't tying them together in such a coherent view.

Yes, and this is why you couldn't update the network. Still, much like how various compression algos have "levels," this standard could be more open in this regard, adding new networks (sort of what others above refer to as

Isn't that weird? My group is similarly all over the map like that. One of my friends has been traveling the world non-stop for years now, it's interesting to see all of the places he's been to (although now he's been

There are almost no badges in the new app, useless coins (at least if you could upgrade your badges with them as back in the day).. I fail to see how it's the same "fun" as it ever was. I have a few friends that still use it

One could argue that, despite still being called "phones," their primary purpose is not making phone calls anymore. I personally use my device for making phone calls less than 1% of the time I use it (and this includes talk time)

> They pride themselves in craftsmanship. Used to. These days, not so much. And they're misfiring quite a bit. For example, the new X3 xDrive30e gets a measly 18 miles of electric range (EPA; real-world likely less). All of that

How so? We have two long range Model 3s which have 140+ kWh capacity in total (70kWh/car, conservatively). Even if you'd only allow 50% of that to be used for powering one's house (you don't want to run large batteries

I literally got asked what I will tip by my Lyft driver, and was reminded multiple times during the trip about the tip. Now, I understand, and I did tip, but I did not enjoy the experience. This is after I got stringed along by a no show

I too wish you could side-load, and the reasons for which you can't aren't 100% noble, but I do appreciate the side-effect of improved security. Side-loading from phone to phone would be a hacker's wet dream.

You do. We got MRIs on disc at UCLA Santa Monica, free of charge. It's pretty standard.

While I agree with you, I don't know why exactly I agree you. Allow me to explain. The "real you," the "genuine" you, is nothing more than some random, arbitrary (for the most part) stuff you got from genes and th

Developers used to building apps find it much more efficient to build that way and, to an extent, it is. I've had developers straight up refuse to build "legacy" pages, and I understand their reasoning. Sometimes that is th

You would think that SSR could take care of the problem and not require one to build twice. Most of these frameworks are very opinionated, if they cared about doing the right thing I don't think it would be hard to extend their opinio
