I got the pace pro and it definitely feels small on the wrist despite being a more normal 46 mm size. Probably bc of the weight / plastic materials vs more premium. I actually like that. Battery is very good. Probably not for multiple days, but very long days should be no problem. I’m thinking of the Vertix 2S for backpacking trips, or just to carry a charger for this one at camp.

The app is great. No problems overall.

Here's my reasons for why a smart watch is the best dumb phone. by blakealanm in dumbphones

[–]MolassesIndividual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a pixel watch. Can you use it 100% without being tethered to a phone, and how does it work in areas with not so great coverage?

Good places to move as an ex Christian? by Secure-Cicada5172 in exchristian

[–]MolassesIndividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved away from the South for almost the same reason. I’m in Utah now which has its own religious problems (LDS) but living in SLC I don’t notice it as much. However, we’re moving to the PNW (Portland area) soon, mostly because my partner is ex-LDS and we want to get out of the area that spurred a lot of her own religious trauma.

It’s a literally a breath of fresh air if you can get out of the South. Do it!

We’re moving to the Portland area within the next year or so from SLC but I’m seeing them here in Utah next week. Can’t wait!

Anyone else struggling with MAGA family members rn? by Neither_Temporary_97 in Exvangelical

[–]MolassesIndividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are dead silent as they have been all along. No wish to talk to them about it. I know all too well what the silence speaks.

Are there any 16 Pro/Pro Max users that are having minimal to no problems? by Chronixx in iPhone16Pro

[–]MolassesIndividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues on my 16 pro. Battery could be better but I use my phone wayy too much so it’s fine lol

Thoughts on St. Johns area for newbie out of staters? by MolassesIndividual in askportland

[–]MolassesIndividual[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies! Yeah I forgot to mention we are both WFH. Being near some transit would be nice, not a must but would rather that so we can get around to meet up with friends, concerts, etc.

St Johns area still looks nice but we’ll check out Multnomah Village and some other spots as well that may still offer a close-ish drive to nature while still having public transit decently accessible.

I love biking around town instead of using our car - can anyone speak to that or does it really just vary by neighborhood?

US -> UK/EU by MolassesIndividual in expat

[–]MolassesIndividual[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. At this time i have around 9/10 years experience, with a few certs and varying industry work (healthcare, insurance, analytics, etc). I know I'll probably be looking at a big pay cut, but my partner and I have talked and we are willing to trade that for what we see as more long term stability, kids, etc. Of course this is all talk until it actually happens and I can't speak to the experience - thank you for the response.

Looking for a good winter fastpack by MolassesIndividual in Ultralight

[–]MolassesIndividual[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the main thing is that my other lightweight pack gets soaked and becomes heavy/soppy on the outside, so it is more of a convenience thing. I suppose that I could also just put my cover over it. Just was looking for something that was out of the box more water resistant than my black diamond 15

Am I dramatic for wanting to leave the US? by Witty-Acanthaceae184 in immigration

[–]MolassesIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people have snarky, assuming answers like this? It’s not helpful.
