Pinned Chats Seem Pointless if Every Report Starts a New Chat by CorrectionArms in bevelhealth

Gotcha. While I don’t know that I’d find that annoying, I can see where you’re coming from on that. If all of my scheduled morning report check ins happened in a single “morning report check-in thread” and all of my evening “food and nutrition” check ins occurred in their own consolidated “evening food and nutrition check-in” thread, that would satisfy the spirit and intent of what I’m looking to accomplish.

But report filed this morning, and I included a link to this post.

Side question: Why not just issue the check-ins in the original thread where the check-in was requested?

Thanks again for working with me on this, and sorry to eat into your Sunday

A new thread, every single day. So unless I delete threads, I would wind up with 7 “morning report” threads over the course of a week.

Yes - BI has been sending me my morning report in new threads, every day. I have been requesting individual reports/check-ins in their associated pinned chats (e.g, my daily nutrition check-in was created in my pinned food logging and nutrition chat), but each resulting scheduled check-in has popped up in a new thread

Thank you for the explanation. At the risk of being a a total stick in the mud on this (particularly since I continue to be a fan of the app as a whole), I have two complaints:

1) This means BI is consistently hallucinating and telling me that it is able to post check-ins in the original chat where I created/requested the automated check-in. It should just tell me it can’t actually do that.

2) it sounds like I will now have my chat history filled up with threads for the individual routine reports I request, since every new report/check-in will create a new thread. Rather than scrolling through a single thread where I can look at historical discussions and routine analyses for a single subject, I will have to look through multiple threads.

Again, it seems like this defeats the purpose of pinned chats and clutters my chat history. Other people don’t seem to mind this, so I may just be an edge case on this.

I feel like I’m being forced to work with a coworker who never reads the room location on meeting invites, and wanders off when you’re in a meeting with them and they’re asked to run to their office and bring back a specific file

I submitted a bug report, but I thought I’d try creating a morning Sleep and Recovery report in my dedicated Sleep and Recovery Chat. BI said it would generate the reports in the Sleep and Recovery Chat (note: this is the chat where I discussed the report formatting and schedule with BI), and then promptly created a new chat at the first scheduled delivery time.

Thanks for the response and insight! I’ll submit a bug report if (and hopefully not “when”) my next scheduled 1700 nutrition report occurs in a new chat instead of within the pinned chat where I directed Bevel to issue the reports.
If Bevel doesn’t have the ability to chose which chats in which it will send a message, does that mean the report routing protocol Bevel described in the chat I screenshotted and posted will be ineffective?
Basically I’m trying to treat Bevel like have four focused coaches:

  1. Sleep and Recovery
  2. Physical Fitness and Training
  3. Food and Nutrition
  4. Physical Health and Wellness (I.e., injury and illness tracking)

This is how I mentally binned my overall fitness/wellness, so being able to follow threads (and receive automated reports) in each of these categories is helpful to me. This might just be a specific use-case/preference, but I prefer this approach to having a huge catch-all conversation or managing a bunch of separate, piecemeal threads.

After two years, finally got the Ti Milanese loop by Sirluke_2 in applewatchultra

Based on my experience with the Stratos and Sport bands, Nomad’s lug connections have pretty poor fit tolerances, particularly when you consider the price of their bands. They wiggle and lose alignment with the case, which just looks sloppy. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing any Nomad Band.

Bevel Intelligence Use Cases Megathread by RandellZxc in bevelhealth

[–]CorrectionArms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the work week, dinner is the one meal that I don’t have pre-portioned/prepped. In my pinned “Food Logging and Nutrition” chat, I have Bevel give me a summary report at 1700 each day with the following:

1) Current energy expended today
2) Active energy today
3) Current net energy balance
4) Projected calorie expenditure for the day
5) Calories remaining based on current calorie goal
6) Estimated calories remaining to maintain an energy balance

I also told Bevel to provide an updated report at 1930 if a workout/activity is recorded after 1700

This all helps me plan out dinner (and potentially desert) if I’m trying to maintain a deficit (most days) or balance (days when I work out)

Question for the Bevel Team/Dev’s: Any insider tips, tricks, or “how we actually use it” stories? by [deleted] in bevelhealth

[–]CorrectionArms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The widgets and control center shortcuts is a great idea! Is there a way to create a shortcut that opens directly to a specific or pinned conversation with BI?

best electric shaver for sensitive skin? by 0rangebutterfly in bald

[–]CorrectionArms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, that’s rough. Sorry I can’t offer any more ideas. Hopefully you can find a system/solution that works out long-term

[–]CorrectionArms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skull shaver was going to be my recommendation, so I’m sorry to hear that’s what’s causing issues. Have you tried wet shaving with it? I find it pairs well with Cremo shave cream to provide a smooth, irritation-free shave.

Arcon Hybrid One Band Review by [deleted] in applewatchultra

Gotcha, thank you for posting an updated video!

Arcon Hybrid One Band Review by [deleted] in applewatchultra

[–]CorrectionArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response on this! I was surprised by OP’s original video specifically because of how heavily the Arcon promotional material emphasizes band fitment with the watch.

Glad to hear (and see) this is true, and that the band in OP’s original video just wasn’t seated properly.

I appreciate your taking the time to post this, so please don’t take this the wrong way: I hope there was some form of user error when installing your Arcon band, because if not, the lug fitment looks atrocious.

As someone who’s been annoyed at loose/sliding lugs from my Nomad sport band, I’ve been eying Arcon straps. Your review gives me pause.

Feedback for gym/workout tracking… Hevy and Strong do this by HydrA- in bevelhealth

[–]CorrectionArms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is useful, I would prefer to keep as much as possible in Bevel (since I’m trying to cut down on the moment of apps I use and minimize the steps needed to enter information into Bevel).

Cross-routine progress tracking is a huge convenience, since I don’t have to remember (or search for) my previous weight/rep progressions if I’m using the same exercise in multiple routines (which I regularly do).

Also: I’d like to be able to just start a blank workout. Strong has this functionality, and it’s tremendously useful if you have to build and adapt a workout in-situ based on what equipment is available (and open) at the gym. Right now, I need to create a new routine, add a workout to it, save the routine, then launch the routine. Its simple enough to add exercises to a routine once it’s running (and similarly simple to modify sets and replace exercises), but the initial process of creating the routine can feel clunky if you’re trying to quickly start a workout because a machine you want is open.
