Comment It was a good feature. (Score 1) 16

While I have had Fitbit for quite some time now, I actually liked the challenges, you could do a workweek hustle with people who moved in your step lanes. (I don't need to feel superior with friends who move 6k steps a day, but I also don't want to lose every week with my friends who are in the 17k steps a day. Also I can run multiple challeneges keeping my work friends and family members separate.

It sucks it's going away. Hopefully they bring something useful to the table. If not this is my last Fitbit. I rarely got more than 2 years out of them.

I'm currently making ice cream (the only food with which I cannot seem to go without) with Allulose. It's not cheap, but it's really good, and I can make a quart of heavy cream, hot water and ghiradeli make a damn good treat. All those "Keto" ice cream and full of sugar alcohols; And a lot of people can't eat them.

My smart washer alerts my phone when a wash cycle has completed and the door is still shut for over 30 minutes. No more mildew clothes, And yes, I could user a timer, I could look at the clock, but some of the loads are 45 minutes and some are 2.5 hours, and when you have large v small, there is "time drift" where it takes a few minutes longer or less to finish, and I don't want to constantly be going downstairs to check only to see it has 7 minutes left. It's a GE washer and it was the best thing I bought with my Covid Relief Money.

It should never be illegal to be an idiot at your job.

Wait what? No, for simple things like messing up an order? No. but for designing buildings that collapse, or foods that harm people, or devices that don't work... If you're an idiot, then you need to lose your job and be liable for your actions.

I'm not certain about the tossing something in a satchel or a purse, but I have put many monitors on top of my mac minis of my past, and even mounted one with vesa screws on the back of a monitor keeping it out of the way. The smaller case may be mountable, but I wouldn't put a monitor on it.

Comment Re:People To Biden (Score 1) 175

That's the thing, Mitch won't let anything through. Even if it were a raise for himself. He wants to be the man who let Biden do nothing for 4 years. and unless they get a few people over to the dem's side, nothing will happen. It just can't. Which is why this senator shit has to go since the republican senators represent something like 37 million less people.

Having been to Iceland, I will throw this tangent in there. Petrol Stations (Gas Stations for 'Muricans like me) are AMAZING in Iceland compared to the rest of the world. Maybe because I was in really touristy places like Gullfoss, Thingvellir, and Geysir, but every time we went into a place they were calm relaxing areas with amazing things to taste, Where I first found Hjonabandssaela. To me BEV driving in iceland is like where it's just meant to be. If I had to stop at a Jersey Rest area for 30 minutes while my car charged, I'd be on my third bag of doritos and trying to see if there was enough sanitizer to feel clean if I had to use the restrooms...
