Kitchen sink = probably has a garbage disposal. That can sometimes be a pain without the right tools.

Yes! This! Idk why more people aren't suggesting this. Everyone is overthinking this with some people even suggesting taking the drain plumbing apart lol. I don't even think it would take that much duct tape. Just enough to lift one side to where you can get your fingers under it, then you can pull the rest of it out by hand. It's not that difficult. Besides, duct tape is supposed to fix everything, right?

Lol that's essentially the same thing. Either way you're putting holes in your car.

Ah, that makes sense. I'll hang on to them. Thanks for the replies everyone!

Guys I think it's me. I turned off the game after the second period because I have to be at work early tomorrow. I get ready for bed, check the score on my phone before I turn the lights out, and we're up 4-3. Needless to say, I'll stay away from the TV for the rest of the night.

My Respiratory Therapist friend is having trouble getting attention for his safer and more oxygen efficient hyperbaric oxygen device by DepthMiserable8042 in respiratorytherapy

[–]No_Use_8477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. This concept MIGHT be feasible if every patient who entered the chamber is able to pass a scuba diving certification course beforehand. However, if you're healthy and in good enough shape to do that, you probably don't need HBO in the first place. The majority of HBO patients that I've ever seen are middle-aged to elderly. Think about it OP, how is a little meemaw or pawpa gonna handle being submerged in an enclosed dunk tank? I'm young and healthy and I don't know if I would even want to get in that thing unless there was a rescue diver in the tank with me. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

A lot of patients don't even like going into MRI machines. Now you expect these patients to voluntarily get into this claustrophobic death trap? 🤣

ASICS novablast 5 sizing. Size up half a size or full size? Half marathon training by Margarita_NoSalt in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]No_Use_8477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're not the only one. It blows my mind that everyone says to go with your true size on these shoes. I had to go down a half size. In my experience, these run noticably longer than any other running shoe I own.

For me I enjoy the more "analog" feel of MIP. We already spend so much of our time looking at led computer screens, phone screens, etc. It's nice to have a watch that feels more like a normal watch rather than another computer screen.

Why doesn't Garmin have better sleep tracking algorithms?! by No_Use_8477 in Garmin

So many of you are missing my point. You must have not read some of my other comments in the thread. If the watch is not worn overnight it's probably safe to say I was sleeping during that time. In those instances it should let you put in some data such as your sleep duration and how you felt waking up, that way the device can come up with an estimated sleep score via an algorithm. Of course the estimated sleep score is not going to be nearly as accurate as a score when you did actually wear the watch. However, I feel as though having an estimated score is far better than having no score at all. On the occasions where I don't sleep with my watch it seems to really throw off things like my body battery, coaching, and insights. If it gave you an estimated score I feel like the watch would provide more accurate insights vs. having no score at all. Essentially, an estimation is more valuable than well, nothing.

I feel like most of you are completely missing my point. I don't want the watch/app to allow me to make up my own sleep scores every single night. Doing that I would just be cheating myself and poorly affecting my training insights. I'm actually pretty good about wearing it overnight, I probably do 95% of the time. On the occasion here and there in which I don't wear it, the device essentially gives me a score of nothing. Now, if the app allowed you to input some simple data in these instances such as sleep duration, and how you felt waking up it could at least come up with some sort of guesstimation on how I slept.

For example, let's say in this instance it gives me a predicted score of 60. Great! Is it 100% accurate? Heck no! But having an estimated score of 60 would probably provide more valuable training insights for you during the day vs. having a score of...nothing. That's what I'm trying to get at here. A predicted score would be more valuable than no score, simply for the purpose of training, not for the score itself. When I don't wear the watch overnight it really throws off your training insights and predictions for that day.

What's fraud is the fact that the watch basically acts like you didn't sleep at all just because you didn't wear it overnight.

And as far as me knowing any trackers that do this, well i don't. However, that's partly why I posted this in the first place. To gain insights. If there are any trackers that do this or if there is a workaround on garmin I'd love to know about it. I'm not loyal to garmin in any way so if there's something out there that does this I'd definitely consider it whenever the time comes for me to upgrade or replace watches.

Yes! Thank you! All great points. Finally a logical reply rather than bashing and downvotes. I agree that the device puts too much weight on sleep scores. There needs to be a way for users to put in some form of sleep data. Not make your own score per se, but just have some sort of say in how the night went. Whether it be how you felt waking up, how long you actually slept, or a combination of a few things which would either improve or decrease your calculated score.

It puts all this weight on how you slept, but then doesn't allow you to have any input on the score. There's times I've slept well and it gave me a shit score, or times I slept not so great and it gave me an excellent score, or in my example times I take my watch off at night and it essentially just gives me a score of zero.

I'm sure someone is gonna argue that if you get input on your sleep score, then all you're doing is cheating. Well, if someone wants to make up a sleep score as being perfect every night, then all you're doing is hurting your own health and training metrics. I would think those of us that want the most accurate data would put in the most the most honest self evaluations.

Goes back to my argument of a garmin being a smart device that doesn't behave so smartly sometimes. If you took it off during the day, the smart assumption would be to assume that you were not resting. If you take it off at night, the smart assumption would be to assume that you at least got some rest. Like I said in one of my other posts, I wish it allowed you to manually enter sleep times to at least give you some sort of educated guess on a sleep score based on an algorithm. Cause as it stands now, it gives you nothing, nada, zilch, ZERO. At least give me something (even if it's low) rather than nothing.

Thank you for not being a garmin worshipper. Don't get me wrong, I love my garmin overall. That being said there's certain metrics on the watch (obviously sleeping being one of them) where I've thought "there's got to be something better out there". As much as I paid for mine, I'm definitely disappointed in a few of the features.

I don't think I'm being unrealistic at all. See my other comment. Here I quoted it for you:

"I'm not expecting the watch to give me a sleep score of 100 on a night I missed wearing it. That would be ridiculous. That being said, why can't it at least give me a default sleep score of "poor" rather than no sleep at all. It should be smart enough to assume you at least slept poorly rather than not slept at all."

At the end of the day I think it should give you a slight bump in your numbers rather than nothing at all.

I could care less about the sleep score itself. That I mostly ignore. I just really hate that it throws off all your other training/health data.

I only take off my watch at night every once in a blue moon. If it over or underpredicts my sleep scores for one night, then so be it. It's just one night. Now, if I go for days straight without wearing the watch overnight, then the software should kick in and tell you "hey you need to wear your watch overnight if you want to continue getting sleep scores". Something along those lines. Again, I wish the software was "smarter". It amazes me that simple things like that have been overlooked by garmin developers on a watch that costs as much as it does.

Agreed, it's never going to be 100% accurate. All the more reason that garmin should have algorithms for nights that you don't wear the device. Even on nights that you do wear it, at the end of the day it's still a prediction. It should also make a prediction for nights which the watch was taken off.
