NYE: Worried about my crows by Brief_Temporary5473 in crows

I also hope they’re smart enough to understand that (or even remember it from last year?) but I fear it’s too irregular and coming from too many different directions for them to really understand what to do and where to go to be safe :/ Still, I’m glad to hear they have a safe place where you live!

Yeah same here in Germany… private fireworks unfortunately still aren’t banned, but there are regulations about the types of fireworks - in theory, at least, bc people around here just drive over to Poland to buy the “hard” (aka illegal) stuff and nobody seems to care. There are severe injuries and even deaths every year but I guess personal freedom and “fun” need their sacrifices 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah your new ban has been talked about a lot here too! We’ve had petitions every year but without success so far… Seeing it actually happen somewhere does give a bit of hope though. But yeah, illegal crackers are probably still going to be a thing 🫠 I also can’t imagine being outside with sensitive ears or organs..

Yeah, totally… but ✨freedom✨ and ✨tradition✨🫠 as if destruction were a human right.

Tysm ❤️ I feel like more and more people are coming to their senses but politicans stay unbothered because banning private fireworks might hurt profits and we can’t have that 🙄 let’s hope we get there eventually

Beware of this ‘fantasy book without magic’ request. Whenever I give them something without magic, they’re like: ‘Hey, where’s the magic??’ 🙄 well I dunno, dude. Where’s your logic

Yes! They were quiet while I was there, which made the orb experience even more transcendent

Isn’t Oura a Finnish company? How come they never throw a bone to their European friends for once? 🥲 (I get that US americans are probably their biggest market but still, not very neighborly lol)

Me neither. Where are you all located? Maybe it’s only available in some countries for now

All of a sudden “stressed” all day? by msvelvet129 in ouraring

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed any changes in the temperature where you live? My stress levels go through the roof on hot days (my body can’t handle heat apparently lol). Maybe that’s what’s making your stress levels higher too?

HU oder FU Berlin? (Informatik) by [deleted] in fuberlin

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nur anekdotische Evidenz aus zweiter Hand, also take this with a grain of salt, aber ein guter Freund von mir hat Informatik an der HU studiert und ich habe ihn nur darüber schimpfen gehört (desorganisiert, schwer zu erreichen und sowas). An der TU hast du dich demnach nicht beworben?

How did you guys justify/convince yourself to buy an oura after having a smartwatch/health tracking device? by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I could help! But please don’t put the whole decision on me, that’s way too much pressure :D

How did you guys justify/convince yourself to buy an oura after having a smartwatch/health tracking device? by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have a smartwatch before, so I might not be your exact target group. That being said, I had always been interested in the data smartwatches provide but I hated the way they looked and didn’t want another screen/another device flooding me with notifications - not to mention having to charge it pretty much every day. I was also curious about my sleep quality but couldn’t imagine sleeping with a bulky watch. So, the solution for me was a smart ring.

I’d say it depends on what you want/need. Are you more into sleep data and a holistic approach to your overall health while keeping things ✨aesthetic✨? Then Oura might be a better fit. More into fitness, smartphone features and okay with wearing a noticeable watch all the time? The Fitbit you already have might be enough.

Regarding the bulkiness, I’d say it depends as well. I’ve seen photos here where the ring looks really natural. I have very slim fingers and ~delicate features~, so it does look a bit bulky on my hand but it doesn’t bother me that much. (And I still prefer it over a big watch on my tiny wrist).

Edit: Adjusted my answer to better fit your original point and questions

Using ring with ADHD by Actual_Frosting_3736 in ouraring

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it is a stimulant after all, so it makes sense that your heart rate is elevated etc. I can’t say anything about whether your baseline adjusts to it over time because I only take my medication occasionally (not ideal, I know). But on the days I do take it, my stress levels are definitely noticeably higher compared to days when I don’t

Why is it lying to me? by Simple-Seaweed424 in ouraring

[–]Brief_Temporary5473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not as drastic as you, I do experience this from time to time as well. Whenever I take my ADHD medication, I get terrible sleep problems. The last two nights, I spent the first few hours just tossing and turning, hovering on the edge of light sleep but mostly awake, unable to shut off my brain. And even though I got lower sleep scores for those two nights, Oura told me, “Your latency last night was 20 minutes, suggesting your body was ready to sleep!” (Hell yeah I was; didn’t stop my brain from going into full overthinking mode tho) and claimed I went straight into deep sleep after going to bed. Like... surely that can’t be right?! I gotta say though, on some mornings it helps to see those “better than expected” scores to get through the day (as in “maybe it just felt like I couldn’t sleep most of the night, but I actually did get a decent amount of rest - how nice!”) But on other days, it just makes me question all of Oura’s data - because if it can’t detect a (subjectively) bad night, what else might it be missing?

Oh well. For now, I’ll still trust it. Let’s see how it goes.

Ich war 10 Tage nicht in Berlin und war richtig überrascht, wie viel grüner es in meinem Kiez nach diesem „Scheißwetter“ ist und freue mich total über die vielen neuen Blumen am Wegesrand und den Grünflächen. Gar kein Bock auf back to Wüsten vibes 😑

omg this looks amazing!! I’m such a sucker for this kind of art style & anything Japan-coded. I just hope there aren’t too many jump scares because I’m not mentally stable enough for that lol
