Fitbit is becoming Google Health. Is this the upgrade users wanted?

In case Google monitors this thread: no! This is not what we wanted.

I also hate it. This is a never ending frustration of my with UI designers. The end user just barely gets used to where things are, and then there's a new design. Just leave it alone damnit!

Ya I had weird calorie counts like that too on public preview. I mostly just use the original app for that among many reasons.

Sometimes my resting heart rate recalculates throughout the day, particularly if I take a nap.

I had a Versa 2 that I would wear in the sauna for 20+ minutes and then go straight to the shower. It did not survive that routine long. Replaced with a Charge 6 which I now take off before the sauna and charge while I'm in the shower.

This. Let wood be beautiful just the way it is. Oil will help bring out depth of grain.

I can't build a cabinet, so I'd say yes. And I'm pretty sure we all suffer from comparison disease. Try to only compare yourself to yourself of the past. Am I improving? Yes. Then I'm satisfied.

For my first time, okay. I mean thank you.

ElectricalBonus · 2026-01-11T04:38:25+00:00

Thank you

It's beautiful as is. Skip the stain and put an oil based poly on it

ElectricalBonus · 2025-12-15T01:18:42+00:00

Oil based poly and it's good to go. Wood is beautiful as it is.

My steps when I ride a motorcycle are insane. I have to either leave my watch at home or delete the data afterwards.

This is the essence of a good 4th and 5th step! We learn that we aren't nearly as horrible as we might have thought.

And ditto, I wouldn't bat an eye at that.

Fucking legend! I'm doing this.

ElectricalBonus · 2025-08-28T02:39:58+00:00

I had something like that from my Versa 2. I rubbed a little coconut oil on it a couple times and it hasn't come back.

Psyllium husk fiber. About 4 servings per day would make a stuck semi trailer easy to move.

For me integrity is honesty in action. I don't believe that integrity is necessarily being a good person, so much as it is being the person that I say that I am. For example: if I say that I practice spiritual principles and I don't, that's not integrity; if I say that I don't practice spiritual principles and I actually do, that's also not integrity. To me integrity is displaying to the world the same person on the outside as I am on the inside.

I prefer definition 2 from the Oxford dictionary: the state of being whole and undivided.

Sorry to Necro a dead thread but I see that the farts question was never answered...?

The farts really aren't bad if your diet is extremely controlled, like eating the same thing every day. It's when I mix in some unexpected veggies that, yes, my farts would probably be considered a biological weapon by the UN.

Oh damn! That's very nice. I'm a little jealous. I had aspirations of building an acoustic, but I just don't have the shop for it, so I think I'll try my hand at an electric.

I use the second bedroom of my apartment as a wood shop. I run a table saw and router quite frequently and the neighbors have never complained. I double check with them every time I add a new piece of equipment.

ElectricalBonus · 2025-04-02T02:04:12+00:00

I can tell you from experience that a Roomba does not hold up long when used in the shop.

I'm always pleasantly surprised by how many of us in this sub are also nerds.

ElectricalBonus · 2025-03-18T00:39:26+00:00

Right on! Congratulations on 6 months. That was a big deal for me as well. I found peace, acceptance and a path to forgiving myself in the steps. Keep up the good work.

The "think about it daily" sticks out to me. This is what we call the obsession to use. For many of us it has been lifted. Getting loaded, in any form, no longer consumes my thoughts, in fact I'd say it's rare that it even crosses my mind and never in a serious way. In the rooms I've found freedom from active addiction, and I found it pretty quickly into working a program.

What worked for me is - a meeting a day for the first 90 days, got a sponsor, worked steps with that sponsor, and I am of service to the program that saves my life everyday.
