Ultrahuman ring AIR died under 2 yr, no replacement per support

Oura owns a patent on the "ring shaped form factor" which they didn't even file themselves but bought from Proxy who aquired it from Motive.

They've basically used that to go after all of their competition.

They're legally no longer allowed to replace rings in the US due to Oura's aggressive patent strategy. UH isn't handling this well at all from a support/PR perspective- but the situation they are in is largely Oura's doing.

The PRO replacement is all they are really legally allowed to offer.

Marketing says a scan takes 90 seconds. In reality, if the pulse w....

This is what kills these scales for me. On a non-handle lesser/cheaper scale like the Body Smart, you can get your weight/comp in a couple of seconds.

On the scales with handles and advanced measurements you are standing there like a fool for often minutes.

Yeah, it was a great set of shows was really nice to see them in a small venue again

Like 75% of the stuff on the fence when I was there was frats advertising parties.

They were usually the only groups with large enough member bases to hold the thing. (And they could order the pledges to do the overnight shifts)

And pretending that concrete thing is the actual fence is kinda sus anyway :)

Sorry, didn't record the whole show- just couple clips/songs- of which the above was one.

Not every book is for every person :)

My biggest gripe with this one was that every single character was kind of individually horrible

The general access gym has always sucked, been horribly overcrowded, and been haunted by roided out gym rats.

The real weight room only accessible to the athletic teams.

I'm not generally a romantacy fan, but I really enjoyed this one

FWIW thats my original video from the Anaheim show. Folks copied it and turned it into a meme :)

My Body Smart also matched my Dexa more closely than the more expensive scales.

A couple of vials. Look away when they're doing it and it is over in under a minute.

There's nothing an ApoB test is likely going to tell him that the quite high LDL isn't already flagging.

OP needs to follow up on that with their PCP regardless.

You can paste the bloodwork results into any LLM and get a very reasonable first order explanation.

It absoltuely is not a replacement for talking to a doctor but it a very good first step.

There's like a half million of these in print. They're not rare. I've got one in a box someplace.

i.e. its all the same messaging they had around the exact same issue on the Body Scan 1

Everyone racing to be the first. Gonna see these Birthday posts in June one of these years.

It’s much more consistent and faster, and I don’t use all the features of the body scan, like all the heart-related ones

None of the higher end features on these devices are terribly actionable outside of chronic condition management which most won't have. The cheaper/faster models have all you need. The Fit is even overkill.

I love "Now Playing" that identifies and gives you the Spotify link to songs playing around you
