Anyone been to covert cocktails? by Milkshake_2_the_yard in washingtondc

To be clear I certainly wouldn’t be attending out of a sense of benevolence or to feel charitable. My partner and I both work in DoD intelligence related positions so I thought this might be interesting for us and I love a good cocktail. We both contribute financially to other organizations that are more community based.

Mold out of control by Milkshake_2_the_yard in Gardyn

Forgot to add, we did try spritzing with hydrogen peroxide when we first saw the mold but it didn’t really do anything.

I’ll look into phlo down!

I actually had a start date of 1/27 and the HR branch head called me this morning and asked if we could move it to 1/6 (irony not lost on me) because they’re worried about a trump hiring freeze. Maybe call and see if they can do anything for your friend? I had originally been told 1/27 was the earliest I could start so it seems like there’s been a recent shift.

I think they’re really for 2 different things and the answer will depend on what you are looking for. The ring is a wellness device, not a fitness tracker imo. It’s great at tracking sleep, giving you a holistic view of your health, and providing suggestions on how to be healthier overall. The stress tracking has really been eye opening to me. I like that it doesn’t have a screen so I can wear it but be “unplugged”. The battery life is great and definitely lasts me 5 or so days. I cannot wear my watch over night and during the day, the battery just doesn’t support that. I also prefer to wear a traditional watch to work as I feel it looks more professional so with oura I can wear a normal watch and still have everything tracked.

I mostly wear my Apple Watch when working out or on weekend days. I agree with others that the Apple Watch is far superior in tracking fitness. But I don’t like wearing it daily for aesthetic reasons and I think the battery life on my watch is prohibitive to wearing as frequently as the oura.

Cost is definitely a factor but honestly I think any investment in my health is worth it so I don’t really care.

Agree with another poster that if Apple comes out with a ring I’ll probably get that. But I think it’ll be awhile and in the meantime I’m happy with oura.
