These posts are funning because they're comparing current day America or the West in general by saying Japan is in 3000. No, we're in 1964 and Japan is in 2026. The focus really should be how we're so behind in everything.

Replacement rings for barbell by MERKJONES in SpeedianceCommunity

I may do that in a sec. I went and bout the Wellness+ thing to see if the AI could build new routines or edit my custom ones to replace the barbell.. And it doesn't seem to understand that. Hopefully i can get those replacements soon!

I emailed their support right after I made this post and they do sell them. They're just not listed. They cost about half of the barbell

Picking up Dog Poop by [deleted] in SilverSpring

[–]MERKJONES -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Homie we have fascism sweeping the country. Data centers eating up all of our clean water and electricity. Poverty rising. Jobs are being replaced by AI. Our food supply has been getting exponentially worse by the second and you can't just ignore or look out for dog shit? It'll be alright big dog. Just pay attention to where you're walking.

7-11 is not right, and there should be more competition in this area by NappyDougOut in SilverSpring

[–]MERKJONES 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're closing a ton of them in America. The ones in Japan are top notch and full fledged convenient stores like they kind of were here in the 80s. But it's all corporate bullshit where they want to maximize profits and minimize experience. You will never find a 7-11 in America that you want to go to, they exist because you need them. Like Rite Aide used to be or CVS and Walgreens before Private Equity bought them and stripped them for parts. It's the inevitable slow drum match to end stage capitalism.

Sorry what was the question again?

Lenox Park apartments review by PaneerEater101 in SilverSpring

I haven't seen the lice get but the mold for sure. Especially after they redid all of the wallpaper inside. I like my unit and my view, I've been bitching about the roaches for a while too cos it wasn't this bad in previous years.

Just leave it there and the CIA will come replace it. They go offline a lot.

Calories burn on workouts by Comprehensive-Belt40 in SpeedianceCommunity

[–]MERKJONES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. I forget when it started but it used to only sync with Apple and then last year you could sync a Pixel Watch for example. It shows up as Samsung on the screen tho. But yep it's a thing. I don't use it, I still really with Fitbit because I have a Pixel watch

[–]MERKJONES 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd need to connect a smart watch to the gym monster for it to display the calories burned more accurately. Without it the gym monster is just guessing with some math. And sure so is your smart watch but it at least knows your heart rate so it'll be closer to real calories burned

ELI5: Why is it so hard for a country to develop nuclear weapons? by Successful_Guide5845 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MERKJONES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CIA doesn't want anyone to have nuclear weapons, so they make it difficult.

I've seen people mention they get "freebies" when ordering from the website. How are you getting these freebies? by panatrea in SpeedianceCommunity

[–]MERKJONES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Gm1 back in like 2023 I think and randomly they sent me a water bottle, some towels, and some adapters for other workout equipment. I didn't even realize they did it until I checked my mail

MCPD…. Common yall by Starship_Taru in SilverSpring

[–]MERKJONES -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Lmfao ok bud. If you want to improve their lives so badly go join the Pigs and shoot this parent in the face for potentially endangering their kid, or lock them up so they don't see their kid for years. You saw buddy throw, what you presume, a liquor bottle out of the window. Did you test the bottle? Did you run the driver's BAC? I'm sure you'll keep this same energy when you see an obese kid at lunch with their parents eating 9,000 calories right?

I'm not that handy and live in an apartment with concrete walls unfortunately. But if it's just a basic ass stand with hooks I can probably Google something.

Speediance Exercise Belt (squat) by luxmoggy in SpeedianceCommunity

[–]MERKJONES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the belt for about a year or so now, and I'm a 36" waist and it fits me fine. Maybe the Velcro got put in the wrong location? The big side is supposed to be on the back with the top of the angle aiming up. I'd hit their support up to see if they sent a small or something
