    Got a nice coffee grinder for my camping trip. Also the deal was quite sweet since the original price was around 80USD, but I paid only 20ish brand new from the store.

    Coffee flavored sweets are awful.  
    This comes from the person who likes both coffee and sweets.

    As someone who worked as system integrator in big broadcasting houses, I am familiar with the software that detects possible epileptic sequences among other potential problems with the video. That kind of software will report which sequences are potentially problematic and when. 
    Also, watching at 2x plus speeds some frames will be skipped which means that there is high possibility that eg. strobing effects will not be perceived as in the native playing speed.

    Good public transport system >>> cars
     
    I was born in a relatively car dependent country and moved to a country with exceptional public transportation. No need to spend tens of thousands euros or dollars on a vehicle, no need to pay for car insurance and taxes, no need to think about the parking. Also while commuting I can read, watch movies/series, play games etc. Finally, the best thing is no traffic jams. 
     
    Also cars are not freedom. Having an option to choose between multiple modes of transportation is freedom.

    I had a similar post few years ago and the situation changed a bit. 
    Basically, I want inconspicuous device, something like a bracelet without any displays which will count my steps and my heartbeats. So far here is the result of my research so it will be easier to understand what kind of devices am I looking for. 
    Great concept, but with great defects or no longer available:
    Amazon Halo - I was looking forward for this, but Amazon pulled the plug 😞 Oura ring - everything is great, I would even pay price premium for the hardware, but paying 6 bucks per month just to have useful app is disgusting  Whoop - looks just like the perfect concept for me, but subscription only model is a great turn off Fitbit Flex 2 - friends with Fitbit have issues with their longevity and this product being discontinued is unfortunate no go. Also no heart rate monitor.  Something that I am currently looking into, although it doesn’t tick my “no display” box is Garmin Vivosmart 5. I have Garmin Instinct and that thing is serving me well for years, but I want to wear “normal” watches as well and have all the monitoring functions of my Instinct. 
     
    So having everything above in mind, I am looking for a no display bracelet or similar device without any subscriptions so if anyone has something that can suggest, it would be helpful. 
    Alternatively, if someone knows about 3rd party bands for Vivosmart 5 which could help me “mask” it as much as possible, I’d be also very happy with that information as well. 
     
    Cheers

    Got a new chalk bag so I can do easy A/B testing of various chalks. I have another Arc’teryx chalk bag which is going strong for years so I decided to go with the same brand.

    Cheating in a video game is completely fine so long as it's not affecting anyone's play experience except your own (i.e. single player only).  Other people that think you're robbing yourself of the proper experience and want to open their mouths should sit down and mind their own business.
     
    People that complain about video games being too hard should stick to games that are the right difficulty for them and not complain about the existence of said games.
     
    People that get a thrill out of particularly unforgiving games should enjoy them, while not being jerks to people that don't enjoy the same challenges they do.  People that tell others to 'git gud' should be slapped, figuratively.  Possibly physically.

    2. If the data agrees with you, it's still not an opinion, it's a fact.

    Personal cars are worse than public transportation. 
     
    Public transportation are weak because of carcentric cities.

    If you are making video with eg. funny animals etc. just piss off with idea of putting any music to it. Especially generic YouTube or TikTok music. Music in those videos doesn’t make it better in 99.99% cases.

    Very few people care about podcasts and I don’t know why music streaming services are pushing them so hard…

    Instagram is useless tool for marketing unless you are targeting specific groups of people who are prone to use it. This also goes for any social network that requires you to have an account in order to check out the contents. 
    Eg. I want to check some local beer store which only has Instagram account as the website, however without account I can’t do jack sh*t. I know that there are sites which allow to check Instagram without account, but that’s not the point.

    Sounds like how Reality TV has become a thing.  Nobody really wants Reality TV, imho.  It's just force fed to all of us.

    My previous company had several of tape printing machines and I was able to use them for private purposes as long as the tape cassette was bought by me. So after changing my job I still needed one of those things so I bought one for myself. 
    I used the older model, but this one has Bluetooth connection for using with my phone and USB connection to use it with my PC.
