I am curious about his size, I never saw anyone who worked on subs. I felt they would be smaller on average in size due to cramped conditions. I play music with a guy who was a weapons officer on a nuclear sub. I’m 6’/1.8m, and he’s

Naps and rest “charge”, and yes, Garmin keeps track of that. Not that I put a whole lot of weight in those data personally.

Zero chance a iWatch would ever survive these conditions. Mine survives such things just fine. My Garmin Epix watch is practically bullet proof. And your Epix cost about twice as much as the Una watch does.

And it's always been terrible, as long as I've been using Garmin watches (their bike computers seem to charge fine, mainly because they use whatever the standard USB plug is at the time). I remember the 410 had some suckass plug t

Apple certainly doesn't let you. There are several apps[0] off the top of my head that pull data from Apple's HealthKit. Apple even has a framework for it: HealthKit. That said, I've never written to that API myself, but it

It’s as if nothing was learned from AutoRun CDs and the like.

I really want to like this watch. Price is certainly right, and it does all of the things I'd want out of a Garmin or Apple Watch Ultra. But what problem does this solve for me? In the Apple Watch use case, a replaceable battery would

Not at all, "books" could also specify "long form writing". When I say I read a book, I don't specify "e-book", I just say, "finally finished Project Hail Mary ".

No income tax, but capital gains tax. And capital gains tax is a lot less than income tax (hence Buffet’s “my secretary pays more tax than I do”). So the “$1/year” CEOs are simply reducing tax burden. But, yes, under the proposed schem

The sociopath part is what allows one to do what it takes to get ultra rich in the first place. Other than Gates, not one comes to mind who gives anything to charity, for example (yes, I’m sure one or two exists).

whew ! I’ve been in hold for 30 minutes, because a few days ago I switched one line to US Mobile, and I thought they killed my wife’s line in the process. (Though as soon as I get a transfer PIN, her line goes, too. Fuck T-Mobile’s plan sw

That's a quote from something Stephen Colbert. Finding the clip is left as an exercise for the reader.

I’d like to know what’s supposed to be bad about a late-model Instant Pot. We have one that’s at least ten years old, and we just bought a 3 quart one. AFAICT, it’s the same thing only smaller. Buttons seem the same, seals look to be the sa

Not “wrongly flagged dead”, insta-dead because commenter is a consistent shit-poster. Put down the history book and read the comment history. If you feel strongly about it, vouch for the comment instead of reposting.

Not even so much the stupidity, but apparently we’ve normalized unprofessional responses to media questions. Ignore the message, as a DOT representative I would personally be embarrassed to response like such a partisan assclown.

TFA never really addresses the question of, "given that 600-700W is about all that's going to fit on top of a car roof, how many days does it take to recharge a 50kWh battery pack?" Because that would also conveniently answer

Yeah, I read your comment. IMO NIMB should be illegal, so long as… And if a frog had wings, it wouldn’t bump its ass when it hops. But there are examples of data centers being approved with minimal public comment, if any. Musk’s data cent

This is about property rights and freedoms. Your property rights stop where my ears are. Or I have the freedom to not listen to your gas turbine. Or however one wishes to flip that on its head. Whether you own the property or not, that

Why do you think other people want to hear you practicing songs that you're not good at? I’m assuming people don’t want to hear me at all. To be clear, I’m just sitting at my campsite, not showing up to the campfire circle with “anyo

Reminds me of when I play my mandolin when I’m camping. I’m sure fellow campers think I suck, despite having played for ten years. But I’m not going to play stuff I can play in my sleep, I’m playing stuff that still needs work. So, in consi

This again? Yes, it’s in the spec. No, no one has been shown to have actually implemented it. No streaming box is going to allow random devices to use their connection.

So, one example of a politician losing their job at the end of the article? Not exactly making the case for the headline, considering number of words in the article. And the issue at hand, of course, is really data centers and not AI.

8% body fat, and I can run more in a day than most people do in a week. I’m taking statins. It’s not always as simple as you seem to assume. As others have said, genetics play role, for one.

My question is: why select a name that for most people, if they recognize the name at all, is a band from the 70s-80s? How many people other than old farts like me even know how to properly pronounce the name? (Because they'll think it
