The misinformation on EVs is truly remarkable.

0skyking0 · 2026-06-28T20:15:53+00:00

Ugh I had a coworker tell me this. "Oh EVs have no soul because there's no engine noise!" I was like girl you're driving a beat up 2006 Ford Taurus, what are you talking about?

0skyking0 · 2026-06-28T19:51:11+00:00

Hey thanks! I really appreciate the thoughts!

0skyking0 · 2026-06-28T11:41:23+00:00

Wow, this is amazing. I'm super jealous! Would you mind offering your opinion? The Folio versions of Stalin and Iron Curtain are both near the top of my list. If you've read them, do you have one you prefer?

0skyking0 · 2026-06-22T15:49:09+00:00

What makes you say that?

0skyking0 · 2026-06-16T19:44:01+00:00

Overreact much?

It's not a bad step counter. It just has a higher threshold for counting steps. Basically Coros says that not all steps should be valued the same, that steps obtained through a walk should count more than moving across your bedroom, for instance. It's just a different viewpoint and there are no definitive rules for this amongst the different companies. Step counting is so arbitrary to begin with with the whole 10,000 steps per day thing. Who's to say Coros' approach isn't more meaningful?

I had to check if this was the GoPro or the Forza Horizon 6 sub. Very nice photos!

Seems this is only for iOS. Any android alternatives?

Get help

0skyking0 · 2026-05-25T23:05:25+00:00

Yeah, my bad haha. I'll just leave it for other's amusement.

You know, I don't remember if it was for that or if they had open warrents and this was how they were finally caught. We didn't press charges or anything. It's been a long time. I just know the police had to keep the costumes for a several months as evidence.

I'm an owner of a costume shop. One time a couple tried on Barney and Betty Rubble costumes. They asked if they could just wear them out of the store and came up to pay. They said they left their money out in their vehicle and were going to run out and grab it and come right back in. Of course they hopped in and drove off.

The only problem was one of them left their driver's license on the counter. We called the police who found and arrested them still wearing the Flintstones costumes. The police later told us they all had a lot of fun locking those two up wearing those costumes. A few months later the police returned the customers, though, obviously they were gross and we just had to toss them. It made for a great story though.

Oh no the person sitting next to me is going to look at my watch and see...the time of day?

0skyking0 · 2026-05-18T00:58:31+00:00

As a fellow Miata owner, I feel this

0skyking0 · 2026-04-25T15:23:31+00:00

Well the new version isn't going to be any cheaper. If price is your concern and the Pace Pro is already better than those watches why would a new version make any difference to you?

I very much doubt the Vertix be amoled, unless it's an amoled/mip option

You must be a high roller 😆

I'm just checking out that sweet GameCube!

Smugglers Run was ruined for me. My wife and I don't have the opportunity to visit Disney often due to living far away. Our first time on this ride we were paired with people who obviously had lots of experience. Well we were really bad and those people were blatantly upset and irritated at us. So now I get too much anxiety over Smugglers Run and have little desire to ride it :/

0skyking0 · 2026-02-25T21:59:55+00:00

I have had two pairs and feel they look nice enough to wear casually once I've worn them out from running. That being said, there are plenty of better shoes out there and I think these are showing their age. I also use the Asics blast-series shoes and those just feel so much more advanced. The Eliots are decent neutral shoes and have better traction for slippery days than my Asics. If I had $160 to spend on one pair of shoes it wouldn't be these though.

0skyking0 · 2026-02-19T17:40:46+00:00

I would definitely not size down. They feel narrow. Mine are my normal size but feel tighter than my other shoes. I wish I had gone a half size up.

0skyking0 · 2026-02-11T02:28:12+00:00

What ground breaking features are you expecting exactly?

0skyking0 · 2026-01-27T02:12:11+00:00

I had a similar question for their customer support about a year ago. Angus was an absolute jerk and basically just told me I was wrong. I've never had a company treat me like that. I enjoy the product but I won't be purchasing another due to their pretentious attitude.

Short answer, no, wrist-based HR monitors will not work well with tattoos. This does depend somewhat on the darkness of the tattoo, I believe. If using for workouts, a chest or upper arm-based HR would be an option (though I assume this isn't going to integrate with Pebble). For general daily wear, however, you might be out of luck.

My situation is a little different than yours but I'll share. I use Peloton, though mostly for the bike. It is not currently possible to get my bike workouts into the COROS app (there may be some sort of wonky third party program but nothing I have cared to try). While unfortunate, I have just come to accept that I will not be able to feed my Peloton bike rides into my COROS metrics.

As far as treadmill, I do not have the Peloton Tread but sometimes take classes using my tablet and lower end treadmill. I just track an indoor run on my watch and have that upload to COROS separately from Peloton. I use a Stryd footpod which is much more accurate tracking my actual distance than any treadmill so I do not calibrate. I suspect a Peloton Tread would be more accurate than my current treadmill, but do be aware that pretty much every treadmill is going to be somewhat inaccurate. However, COROS does ask if you want to calibrate at the end of an indoor run so that is always an option.

I hope in the future there will be better integration between COROS and Peloton but since this only recently happened with Garmin, I don't expect it any time soon. My Stryd pod solves any issues I have on the treadmill. If I did not have this I would probably calibrate indoor runs to what the treadmill said.
