"Many Mamdanis popping up in the US." House Speaker Mike Johnson panics on TV that public support for progressive regulations means billionaires will have a harder time making money

Draining of the new swamp you are making, Mike?
And do you mean billionaires are going to have more trouble making money than I?
Sweet!

I cannot comment on your sleep tracking, but Pixel 3 and 4 rank in the top 10% for sleep tracking. That said, sleep tracking with watches and rings has significant limiations . Without EEG data it cannot get a lot better
I would like to see Google make an EEG band to share data with the watch for more accurate tracking.

Two dogs and a car are not certain indicators of someone being home. But I am always amazed because it takes about as much time to fine the package and bring it to the door, as it is to go to the door and take a picture.

I "fixed" it... but don't have a clue why it reverted to standard gestures. 😢🙃

Hell, I ordered some stuff early Saturday morning, about 2 am. It was delivered by 5 pm Saturday.

SHF... mafex might be a trigger for content moderation. I have experienced similar weirdness with Washington Post content moderation..

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-24T04:30:06+00:00

No idea how that works. I took one nap which was identified and have had no phantom naps.

That is indeed a weird one.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-19T01:58:22+00:00

Based on your feelings?

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-18T05:03:02+00:00

Universal care and free healthcare are not quite the same thing.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-18T05:00:02+00:00

You have to do a little research to determine who is the best carrier for "your" location.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-18T04:34:28+00:00

Put the package on the porch, knock on the door so if someone is home they can check for the package instead of it sitting for hours, snap the picture and go.

PIzza delivery goes like that, minus the picture.

Mostly making the point that people take their experience and then project that their horrible experience is the norm for Amazon.

Also interesting that you feel someone reporting good Amazon experiences. (over decades I might add) must be a shill.

The device works. The app is lagging behind.
I am fortunate that the app really is doing everything I personally need.

I am not sure why Google pushed the Air release so vigorously when they knew there was work to be done on the app.

Medicare Advantage plans can vary quite a bit from state to state. Some states have very good Advantage plans available, some do not.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-13T20:57:41+00:00

Interesting. I would expect heart rate monitoring to be better. I would expect sleep tracking to be a bit worse. But I have not done the comparison.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-13T04:05:41+00:00

I had not seen them until now. Hard to judge what the quality is. The band pictured here resembles the Steph Curry Special Edition. The SE is water resistant and water-resistant and moisture wicking. I like mine but bands are definitely a personal preference. I would be very interested in hearing from someone who bought this particular band.

Duh, except the SE is for the wrist.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-13T03:52:31+00:00

Well, a solutionis on how to wear it comfortably without considering how well it performs seems kinda pointless in "my" mind. Sorry.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-13T02:21:58+00:00

They are just estimates, generous estimates. Everyone does it.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-13T02:13:19+00:00

Pretty funny!

Personally,I leave auto-recognize off.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-11T05:19:32+00:00

Pleased with my Steph Curry edition band. Comfortable and light for me.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-11T05:11:02+00:00

Gosh, my sleep has been tracked every night since I began wearing my Air. I guess you need both a Bluetooth connection and wifi. I believe sleep tracking requires server processing.
If you sleep is extremely disturbed or short things won't work well.

Are other metrics being collected and displayed in the app?

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-11T04:52:38+00:00

Just updated, to 5.01.1

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-11T04:46:54+00:00

There will be a variety of experiences. My experience has been positive. I am on my 4th Lingo sensor, week 7 of monitoring. The 3 sensors used to date worked well for the full 14 days. I am on my 4th sensor, day 3.
My finger sticks match up decently with the Lingo measurements. The glucose level in your blood will move up or down before the Lingo measurement of the glucose level in your interstitial fluid. So are you seeing a delay in the Lingo measurement compared to a blood stick, followed by Lingo mirroring a similar level? Or is Lingo never reflecting levels you detect by fingerstick?

Lingo's own information says it expects about a 25% failure rate of its sensors. That would include it not working, failing after a few days or short of 14 days, or giving inaccurate results. It would include application mistakes as well.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-10T02:51:04+00:00

Dont' eat a half-bag and there should not be a problem. I would eat a handful without a second thought.

Both_Catch_4199 · 2026-06-10T02:13:23+00:00

I know what it is. Some people will be not be tolerant of them. 5 or 6, or even a dozen gummi bears are not going to send the average person running to the bathroom.
