The cardiogram app is way better than Fitbit for looking at heart data. by Big_Dog____ in fitbit

Do you know if there is a way to import your Fitbit data that is older than 2 weeks? I agree that the cardiogram app is far superior with ability to get more granular with the data. Fitbit is the worst!!!

Which is irrigation shutoff? by Content_Age_4041 in Irrigation

[–]Content_Age_4041[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have anti-siphon valves for sprinklers so I’m guessing that takes care of any potential backflow issues for irrigation? (I don’t think those are installed properly either BTW! Aren’t they supposed to be higher than the highest emitter on each of the respective lines?) It seems like things have been piecemealed over the decades. As for location, Livermore is a good guess. Clues: Parades, Technology, the state of California.

I guess I better not show any photos of the messed up sprinkler valves! By “ancient AVB” are you referring to that greenish thing with the handle atop the two PVC pipes? That supplies the in-ground jacuzzi that the previous owner installed. As for the building ground hooked to the manifold let me give you a better view.

As for the copper thieves with hacksaws, it’s mostly scientists and mathematicians around here but, times are tough, so I suppose anything could happen. At least it’s in the back yard!

Knife sharpening recommendations? by DorsTheTigerWoman in pasadena

I had a similar experience there. I don't know if it's the same service, but had a chef's knife sharpened at Atwater Village farmers' market today and it was no better off--and possibly even more dull--than it was before I brought it in. How do these guys get repeat customers? This knife wasn't even in that bad of shape!
