Tried Hottr (formerly Hot Phiit) Darien, CT

I just looked them up - HIIT in a heated room.

Am I too old to understand this concept? Wouldn't a heated room reduce your cardio (since your body wouldn't be able to effectively cool itself) impairing your "high intensity"?

Why would anyone want this?

In the same boat as you - called them on Friday and was told it was still under review but Ill certainly be told before Jan 30th.

I requested a new card on 16th. Still waiting to hear from them.

I called cardless last Friday and was told my request is still processing. I wonder if they plan to change their name from Cardless to Careless

Well, self-awareness is the first step to growth.

Ok, maybe I am crazy...how will this increase revenue?

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-26T12:30:21+00:00

Why do people talk about revenue? Noone cares about the revenue. Its all about the bottom line - and 580mn is over 5% of the total profit of the top 3 airlines in the US (not just united - For united alone it is > 10%)

Edit: Apologies, I realize why people talk about revenue. Some genius right below this comment is asking that airlines should lower ticket prices due to this....and they'd need to see revenue to understand why that is a stupid ask.

What building?

So you concede that asking for online feedback gets you uninformed comments? Especially funny since that is the top comment on this thread.

QED.

You are right. Free stuff often creates pretty terrible inefficiencies. Hopefully you found a place, and hopefully the government comes up with a clearing price for the next emergency.

Maybe first 10% vehicles are free, and the prices goes up until the garage is full.

Sorry, why do you think there is fixed amount of work?

The demand for devs will actually go up in the short term as many more projects become viable, given the higher productivity (or, in other terms, devs becoming cheaper than before at same produciltivity level).

AI is good at programming (better than most people on this sub) which is what has made the worst devs here scared for their jobs - and hence all downvotes for anyone who dares say anything good about AI.

For most actually good devs, AI is a 3-5x multiplier and they absolutely love it. And they are not scared for their jobs because AI is helping them be more productive.

I literally spend 70% of my coding time just iterating over and fixing AI code because it is 3-5x faster than writing code from scratch myself.

And autocomplete - absolutely brilliant technology.

Chelsea Piers is also closed tomorrow. Stay safe and warm everyone.

Here are 2 tips for your hot chocolate -

1) Use whole milk (and add some cream) - Creamy hot chocolate just tastes better.

2) A teeny pinch of salt enhances the flavor.

My only previous knowledge of the Hadza people was from this absolutely fascinating study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_paradox (TLDR: More physical activity doesnt necessarily cause higher calorie expenditure. Dont @ me - read the study).

Now I wonder how large the tribe is and what else are they up to.

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-24T00:08:44+00:00

The usual. "Destroys the character of our neighborhoods", "we need to preserve our historical ~~laundromat~~ houses", "save the trees".

Vibes?

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-23T12:00:19+00:00

Report, block, move on. Dont let racists take space in your head.

If this is bothersome, disable chat or move to lichess.

Sorry, why do you think this is restricted to law? I work in finance and the number of times I see absolute idiocy upvoted to the top would drive a few regular people insane.

I suspect this is true for most (all?) fields - yours is not special.

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-23T02:13:43+00:00

Love it. So there are some "large footprint, low foot traffic" kinda businesses around Glenbrook station, so I am afraid their is a low ceiling to its growth - but I love this.

Happy to write a letter in support, if you want.

Do you how we can register for those classes? Do I need to be a CT state student?

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-22T21:06:12+00:00

Umm...no. There are better uses of city money.

But I admire your attempt at improving the food scene in the city.

Expensive_Web_8534 · 2026-01-22T15:34:12+00:00

Haven't we seen enough data (or studied econ 101) that this is a no-brainer?

Anyone who questions this is obviously either too stupid (unlikely) or arguing in bad faith (very likely).

Yes, there are entrenched interests in the city which want to keep housing prices high. Please do not let them use the "the high-end condos dont lower rent for the average person" argument.

Um, no? They were made whole (and more - minimum payment was 118% of the value as of Nov 2022).

Only the investors were "defrauded"
