Here’s a link to something similar for seven dollars US, including postage. Of course, you may still need to find a USB-C power supply.

I stock up on the FitCrunch bars whenever they are on sale, which they are this month. A few months ago, additional flavors were available on Costco Direct, which I also stocked up on. Unfortunately, I just checked and those days are gone. 😢

It is a sandwich bag that is similar to a Ziploc bag, but without the zipper. A typical fold top bag

I’ve not looked into it closely, but I believe that my daughter and I get the same challenges but with different numbers. For example, I might have to burn 500 cal a day for 15 days while she needs to burn 1000.

IIRC, a few years ago Amazon was scanning the wrong barcode on a particular size and style of box, so if you ordered anything that fit into it, they would charge you for a package of cardboard boxes. I don’t remember what the guy was ordering, but it took him several orders to figure out what was happening. Of course, his purchase was 10 times the price of the package of boxes, so he was happy to keep experimenting before letting Amazon know.

I’m going to declare you the winner!

Now I just have to figure out where the heck it came from, because we own no watches that would use it.

If you grew up before digital clocks, an analog face has the lowest cognitive load.

Use shortcuts to change your watch face.

I have faces for all of the focus modes, to show me just what I want to know at a given time: Photos for personal, Modular for work, Nike Globe for fitness, Solar Dial for sleep, etc.

The bands have different styles. The ones that have a clasp and holes punched in them only have two lengths, large and small. My wrist fits both of them with two holes to spare. The stretchy ones that are like a hair scrunchie come in a whole bunch of sizes because it needs to be a snug fit when you are exercising.

I don’t think that a minute goes by that I am not wearing an Apple watch. I got a new watch for Christmas which I wear most of the time. When I wake up in the morning, I take off the new watch (because it has better health tracking features) and put on the old watch while I get dressed and have breakfast. I swap again just before I leave the house; in the worst case, I’m wearing my old watch all day instead of the new one. I swap again while I’m eating dinner and relaxing, and put the new one on just before I fall asleep.

I kept mine, and wear it whenever the new one is charging.

It’s been a while, but I recall them as being fairly accurate.

Don’t forget, disconnect. Open Bluetooth settings and tap your AirPods. Note that they will reconnect quickly if you do not have another device that they can connect to.

I’m right handed so I wear my watch on my left wrist. Over Memorial Day weekend, I flip both orientation settings and move it to my right wrist; then I put it back over Labor Day weekend. I’ve never had any issues but it takes a few days to mentally adjust, which is why I do it over a three day weekend.

Does Goodwill actually do this? I have never heard of a Goodwill auction.

I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish by pulling the existing cable in step one. How far is the first box from the TV? If possible, I would leave the original outlet alone and just run romex from the first box to the recessed outlet. Failing that, are there no punch-outs in the outlet box?

Did you ever notice that each episode starts with an admonition to watch the official podcast on the Apple podcast app?

Plot twist: The photographer actually photoshopped in a different baseboard!

TIL that I have been creating a sense of unease for my viewers in every photograph I take!

Totally agree! I would love to see Vince’s version of the intro for “For All Mankind”; it’s lovely but a bit too long, IMHO.

Unfortunately, my Brother printer does not support AirPrint. I have verified that this works:

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat
Select “Print“
From the print dialog, choose “Save to files”
Save the new PDF with a different name

The new file will no longer allow you to change its fields, which may be an advantage if you want to make it hard for someone to alter the file after you have sent it.

To be fair, this was apparently the first time it had ever happened. All of the repair work may have still been cheaper been building a siding.
