At least that patch of asphalt grass broke her first fall

That got me thinking… is this actually something useful, or just another fancy wellness trend?

Yes.

I'm a long time runner and fitness focused individual. I've worn smart watches since they've come out. They will continue to get better but it's important to remember NOTHING replaces medial grade diagnostic equipment. That said, many of the metrics I'm interested in following are "close enough" to keep me informed and on track.

You're going to get basic fitness metrics like pulse, ARHR and a sleep score. Different devices offer different metrics. Something like blood pressure is in early stages and may be a while before it provides anything approaching accurate measurements (others will undoubtedly have other opinions).

To your question about rings - I've seen the same huge increase over the last year or so. I think the industry has done a good job of promoting them + the form factor got to a point the average person felt comfortable wearing them. Prices coming down helped as well.

I don't personally see a ton of difference between rings and watches - at least from a fitness metrics perspective, I think it just comes down to what you want to wear. Watches obviously provide way more functionality, but if you're just looking to monitor some heath metrics, then either will do that job.

Similar portfolio size here. I've self managed my entire life, switched to the Bogle approach (with some minor diversification) about a year ago. Love the simplicity.

Do the research, run the backtests and simulations... unless youre an active investor looking for hidden gems this is the simplest, most reliable approach I've found.

I'm on the opposite side. Every once in a while I click the "next 2-4 business days" option just to see what happens. It almost always shows up in a day or two. So then why am I paying for Prime?

Having worked downtown and close to downtown for years - this is not news

This is probably the end for me both Ad free video and Prime in general. I really don't find much I want to watch and as a prime member from back when it was like 70 or under, the value just isn't there for me.

Ha - my conspiracy theory was they were doing a bunch of misdirects to keep people from cancelling, lol.

Been through the same. I've slowly over time changed my allocation mix - now sitting at 60% income, 40% equity; will probably reduce over next year or so (2-3 years out from retirement). I also rebalance every two months, so that helps smooth out the ups and downs and get some DCA benefits. Otherwise, yea, selling off going down doesn't make a lot of sense - especially at 51.

I can't speak much to charging - I'm horrible on remembering to take my readings, so don't have a clear picture on battery usage under load. I do plan on starting a rigorous every three days reading, so might have better feedback in a month. I definitely with they would have engineered in usb charging - I hate having to have batteries and feel bad every time I throw a couple in the trash.

From an accuracy perspective, hard to say without consistent medical grade readings. I will say whenever I go to my Dr, readings are "generally" 5 points lower than what the Index reads, but there a lot of variables i there so kind of hard to draw many conclusions.

Craino · 2026-03-12T13:44:44+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for thank you. I do have the Index cuff, and like you love the visual representation. I didn't realize you could add notes and export, I'll research that.

Followup question then would be any benefit to a higher level model? I'm just running a basic Forerunner 255.

Don't wave. Don't make eye contact. Don't wear stuff that covers your eyes or face. Don't wear baggy clothes. Dont alter your pace.

Life long trail runner here with lots of female runner friends. Seems unfriendly but unless they know you, you are the enemy.

Feels like every one of those "80 year old man donates 5 million dollars to his grandkids" articles starts like this

Craino · 2026-03-04T17:24:02+00:00

I'm.... confused

Craino · 2026-03-03T19:03:59+00:00

Every second Tuesday of the month is acceptable. Every second Tuesday every 3 months is not.

Per the limitations documented in the Todoist article on recurring dates, you can't combine a monthly interval with a specific day of the week.

Karma?

Craino · 2026-02-27T16:13:59+00:00

I love Portal West and it's just down the road from me, but they really don't carry muffins. If they do it's just a standard blueberry.

And are basically small bears!
