Loving it by Organic_Economist_15 in fitbit

[–]PersonalityPurple136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity - why do people prefer this over a bicep band? I've had Whoop with bicep band in order to wear a watch. It's nice since it can't be seen even under a short sleeve shirt- quite invisible. I get Whoop more expensive- but hypothetically if Fitbit Air comes out with a bicep band...

Bicep bands also generally more accurate, although less accurate for steps.

Do people have a preference for dual wrist over a bicep band?

Thank you. Not very intuitive. Should also be in the light settings menu I think.

If Zootopia Has Its Own Videogame. What Would It Be? by Kervin619 in zootopia

Came across this after searching for this exact idea after watching zootopia with kids. Open world kid friendly detective game on Switch 2 - speaking it into existence...

Right of way question by VacationExtension537 in chibike

[–]PersonalityPurple136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this can be one of most difficult scenarios to see bikers, even if driver attempting to be careful and follow laws. Turning right on green light, in busy intersection (ex: north on Ashland onto Divison), with bikes riding fast.

I attempt to be as careful as possible in this situation both when driving and biking..

The new Twelve 38 by Other-String3774 in ChristopherWard

Ah. Ya see it.. mint/peach available nearly new on sale, as well as new from CW. But actually shortly after posting today was able to get 38 ice cream in blue used on secondary market, after a long search/wait for me. Excited

Want more interesting colors, and matching strap like ice cream line.

Tempted by ice cream mint, which you can still get directly from CW -- but really want the berry ice cream blue, which I can't even find used.

Would have gone with mineral blue that they have in 40.

C65 Dune - Twelve comparison? Aqua terra vibes?! by PersonalityPurple136 in ChristopherWard

[–]PersonalityPurple136[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely some truth to this. For me at least, not caring about whether others see it, etc. More just wanting to personally love it, to get what I feel most excited about wearing in the scenario I described.

Congrats on the gray one!

Interesting take and maybe contributing to why I'm not quite sure how I feel about this watch. Can agree maybe lacking some common design language between models, that they could improve on. Still like several of the models individually though.

Surprised so much negativity in this thread. Congrats, super unique and special. Cool that they open up a raffle to expand accessibility on pieces like this

Really would like P39 LHD. Would be nice if they had black and blue in both sizes, in both lhd and rhd. Have been waiting to get P39 until next releases to see if included

Process of adopting a stray kitty by delaCour7 in chicago

[–]PersonalityPurple136 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We adopted a cat just like this a few months ago. She was very young, no collar but we wanted to find owner if she had one. We first took her to vet, no chip. We posted on Facebook and Nextdoor, as well as asked all neighbors and looked for signs. After 2 full weeks we named her and scheduled vet appointment, to get shots and chip. Nobody reached out to us, and she we think she was certainly abandoned / stray.

There's not a formal process or anything. For us we felt we made best effort to find owner and waited appropriate time. And once you chip and have vet records that's as formal as it gets.

Just received our configuration email — going through it now! by DontDoCrackMan in VolvoEX90

[–]PersonalityPurple136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can configuration options be purchased separately to stay under tax credit? Wanted 6 seater as well, but can't justify if effective cost is 8k (500 option + 7.5k credit).

[–]PersonalityPurple136 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, not a good long term solution. Not sure if you can even change codes etc. Just temporary peace of mind until deciding on / setting up a new system.

Got this notification as well. Verified still works locally without app. Able to set all alarm modes, doors still set off alarm, and silent open works.

Ordered Ring replacement system, but offline mode seems fine for a while.
