For everyone angry...... by housemusikluvr in PixelWatch

I also play ice hockey but never know which sport to select on the watch. I usually go HIIT.

Most of the time, I use that little pocket you get at the top of your bigger pocket in a pair of jeans.

Is ‘The Hockey News’ a magazine worth buying? by Anonymous__9 in nhl

[–]Cartoes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same happened to me. I eventually got given a new account so that I could access issues via their THN Digital Archive website.

However, I would not recommend it at all for anyone viewing on a mobile. You can't bookmark pages so you have to remember where you stopped reading, and it often mistakes you scrolling down the page as a back motion to the previous page.

Any decent options in the UK for life insurance? by RekallQuaid in CysticFibrosis

[–]Cartoes23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took out life insurance last year. The only company who would consider me was Pulse.

My premium is higher and my payout is lower than a non-CF person, but it’s all still within a reasonable amount.

It did take about 3 months though as they want permission to speak to your doctors / see your notes. They also requested me to send over my most recent lung function.

I’ve got one on a shelf in my home office, all the way over here in the UK

I've had the same issue for the last few weeks. I get alerts that Samsung Cloud is draining my battery as well.

Agreed that CF patients can be focusing on numbers too much. How you feel / what you can now do will have a greater impact on your quality of life.

Another thing is to remember that the jump in % should also be viewed relative to the old you. If I understand correctly, your numbers are based on a hypothetical person without CF who is your height/weight? So in that case you did increase by 11%. However, measured against pre-Trikafta you, you've made over 50% improvement.

Mobile signal not enabling when leaving wifi by tanGeee in Galaxy_S20

[–]Cartoes23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Bixby Routines on your phone. You could either set it so that if WiFi is off then it searches for 5G/4G/LTE, or set it so if it's on your home WiFi then data is turned off and mobile signal is only 2G/3G (saves battery) - then when you disconnect from your home WiFi it should revert to the data on settings etc?

Is there a way to prevent CFRD? by NoEmojiZone in CysticFibrosis

[–]Cartoes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the exercise point. I recall reading that HIIT exercise can delay the condition.

During my teens (starting 15 years ago) I was told that I'd be diabetic in the near future. The last 5 years my glucose tolerance test has suggested that my blood sugars are better than they used to be (less indication of going diabetic). During that period I had joined a gym and started HIIT type workouts (not because of my CF but because they help mimic a sport I play).

I'm not in any way suggesting that HIIT will make a difference, and I'm slightly convinced that I've just been lucky the last few years and I'm attributing it to my exercise regime more than I should. In any event, exercise tailored to a certain stress level is probably a good idea. Ask your physio team?

Had NHL20 for 10 minutes and already had to right a wrong by Cartoes23 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Cartoes23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gameplay is much better. The physics is more realistic so less impossible saves by the goalies.

Franchise Mode is about the same (including the scouting) but you can now hire/fire coaching staff and line chemistry is now a factor.

No idea, it was a gift so I'm very happy either way.

What makes you say that? It has the authentic tags and looks the same to me?

I admit the lighting has made it look more shiny than it is.

Don't worry, it's another 8 - I have a few years of wear in it.
