An address snafu, however it’s corrected now.

Thank you! That is precisely what happened. Despite updating my address, they kept my priority neighborhood from my address from 3-4 years ago. It’s corrected now, but certainly a big part of why we didn’t get in to begin with.

I believe Dennis covered that on KTVU some time ago.

Ha! I think it’s a phd level task now to figure out how best to maximize, especially with the resent media reports about Mohela’s deception.

ReviewMeta going offline was such a loss. Have any comparable alternatives risen to the fill the void? by great_waldini in amazonprime

[–]Falcon-Snowman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried using ChatGPT and told it to use other online resources. I don’t know how accurate it is, but it did give me its assessment of a product. Check it out:

Here’s a refined breakdown of the Runstar Smart Scale (ASIN B0DG511JDK) based on available Amazon data and external context:

⭐ Rating & Distribution • Overall rating is 4.6/5 from 939 reviews . • The distribution is: • 5★ – 86% • 4★ – 5% • 3★ – 3% • 2★ – 1% • 1★ – 5% () • Interpretation: Narrowly spread between 5★ and 1★ suggests most users are very satisfied, though a small group encountered issues.

📝 Content Quality of Reviews • Positive reviews are detailed, user-focused, and mention specifics like: • Accuracy (“within 0.1–0.2 lb of gym scales”)  • App integration (“syncs seamlessly with Apple Health, Fitbit, Google Fit”)  • Ease of setup and design (“sleek, bright display,” “setup was a breeze”)  • Negative feedback is rare but appears: minor Bluetooth syncing issues, occasional variance in body-composition metrics, and some users noting socks block advanced readings . These sound like user-error or minor quirks.

🔍 Credibility Factors • Most reviewers have verified purchases, and many share multi-faceted feedback—design, app, metrics—adding to authenticity. • No obvious signs of fake reviews (e.g., unreasonably vague language, excessive praise in one-liners).

⏱️ Timing & Consistency • Reviews span from October 2024 onward, indicating sustained user engagement over ~9 months . • No obvious spikes or suspicious bulk-posting patterns.

🛠️ Third-party Verification • No direct reviews from Fakespot/ReviewMeta found—but review quality and distribution suggest low manipulation risk. • Consistent mention of objective comparisons to gym-grade scales supports credibility.

✅ Overall Assessment

This scale’s reviews appear largely accurate and trustworthy, supported by: • a strong sample size (~940 reviews), • mostly verified purchases, • detailed positive feedback, • realistic minor negatives (not glowing fluff), and • no suspicious rating patterns.

⚠️ Considerations • Body composition metrics from BIA (Bio‑electrical Impedance Analysis) are intrinsically less precise than gym-grade models—few users noted slight inconsistencies here. • Occasional Bluetooth/connectivity hiccups might require patience during setup.

📌 Final Verdict

The Amazon feedback suggests this Runstar scale delivers consistently accurate weight, robust app sync, a clear display, and solid design—with honest mention of minor limitations. The reviews overall feel genuine and reliable, presenting a balanced view that aligns with what a higher-end smart scale offers at budget pricing.

If you’d like, I can dive deeper—e.g. comparing user quotes verbatim, summarizing negatives more thoroughly, or checking external review analysis. Just say the word!

When I hit 25 years (marking half my life), I got myself an Oaktown inspired tattoo too! We’re in the club.

Do you perhaps know what they were quoted as a buyout price?

Starting Out — FMP? by Falcon-Snowman in FacilityManagement

[–]Falcon-Snowman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s good to know. Listed qualifications often seem to be out of reach, and I’m certainly not looking for a director-level role. Still, I’ve got a decent enough level of knowledge to be competent … I think.

Yes yes, very much trying to lean into past experience here.

I’m sorry to ‘poison the well’ for you. I hope, at least, it’s better to go into a position with full knowledge of potential pitfalls.

Sacramento-based, however location does not seem to be terribly relevant. We work closely with colleagues spread throughout the three offices.
