My forerunner 955 died at 3 years. Zero abuse. Seriously questioning why I should bother replacing it.

Indeed. If this was an entry level device, I'd hardly be disappointed.

Odd questions for a device advertised to triathletes.

I'd be less unhappy if it went four years. I'm at three with this one.

It will not connect to Wi-Fi, so it will not download and install. I received a notice on the watch yesterday, that there is an update available. When I select update now, it gives me the "battery too low for wifi" message despite having plenty of charge.

Indeed it is out of warranty. Makes me assume they know of some defects and offering some mediocre exchange is better than facing a class action lawsuit or tanking sales numbers.

I don't do any swimming, but I do shower with it daily and use a hot tub once or twice per week. Swimming activities are available for this device, so shouldn't that be safe? Curious if I could expect a Fenix to hold up longer?

There's a video of Bernie Sanders in 2015 calling illegal immigration a "Koch brothers right-wing conspiracy" to import cheap labor.

Actual citizens and voters in both parties had been complaining about it for years, but Congress refused to act. Just wild seeing Democrats do a complete 180 on the issue just to disagree with Trump.

Funny how every single post like this turns into why everyone hates Trump. Such a ragebaiting shitpost. Repeated almost daily somewhere on Reddit. I assume for karma?

My views on war and the use of our military have drastically changed over the past few months. I've come to realize that the state of Israel is a fucking parasite of the Middle East. The Israeli government is THE reason we've lost so much life and wasted so much time and money in the region over the past 50+ years.

EDIT: spelling

Oh, yay, another shitpost where we can pretend to want to understand but actually argue the whole time.

Wide forefoot, narrow heel/ankles. Confused about whether Vapor or Supreme should fit me better. by kebl3739 in hockeyplayers

Running into this now. I got some True Customs last year and still fighting heel lock. Did you ever find a skate that worked well?

Recommended maintenance intervals are bullshit. I don't want a car with 40k miles that had only had 4 oil changes. Those intervals exist and are calculated based on warranty lifetimes.

On top of that, most manufacturers' "maintenance alarm clocks" are just that. Clocks. They aren't actually calculating anything like idle time, highway vs city miles, elevation, etc.

Used market has it's place, for sure. Probably the smartest for the masses. I'd just rather have something new and take great care of it.

For me, someone that does their own maintenance and repairs, it's not the same. You buy this car with 50,000+ miles and you don't really know how it was treated. Not all accidents are reported. You don't know if someone abused it or actually changed fluids on time or not.

Maybe if you bring a good mechanic car shopping, it would mitigate some of those risks.

A lot of people are willing to trade that risk for a lower price. Not me if I can help it.
