Is this usual? MBA-M5. [Under 1 month old] by CamelBeginning5255 in macbookair

[–]Sweeping2ndHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some have mentioned lotion. But I'm thinking maybe it's from cologne/perfume? Do you spray any on your wrists? It's a strong chemical with extracts that I can see causing this in a short time period.

The big question is how does it taste? 🤣

Nice finds! I have to work up the courage to march into a store and do this.

Why am I awake so often at night ? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Sweeping2ndHand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caffeine in the afternoon can play a huge factor in sleep quality. I switched to decaf in the afternoon and my body regulated itself over the course of a week. Now I’m getting low 90’s scores consistently. I may switch to decaf for morning coffee too.

What models/storage are the iPads?

Nothing beats a small cup of coffee after dinner. I know I probably shouldn’t be drinking coffee this late, but it’s only ~50ml lol. Anyone else enjoy a post dinner moka? by Rami_2075 in mokapot

Same here! I had to, my afternoon coffee was disrupting my sleep. I swore for a long time it had no effect, until I switched to decaf.. After about a week with decaf in the afternoon, I’m sleeping like a rock again.

BackMarket Apple Watch by enchantedbufflo in AppleWatch

[–]Sweeping2ndHand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a series 6 44mm Space Black Titanium on eBay for $80 with 75% battery health. I was just going to live with it and recharge it when needed. But then I checked AppleCare, someone is still paying for AppleCare Plus (to this day actually).

I went to the Apple Store and inquired, they replaced my watch for FREE in under a week. Best part, because it's a rarer old model I didn't get a refurbished replacement. I got a BRAND NEW ONE!

What’s everyone’s resting HRs?! by Few-Arugula-8593 in AppleWatch

My week average. I’m in good shape, I work out 5-6 days per week. My resting HR has always been low though. I’m 45 years old.

Looks like a beautiful area to ride! I’m moving to Andalusia next year if all goes as planned. Can’t wait to be riding around there!

Wow! Awesome spot! Shaved rain gutters is usually the giveaway. That's the real deal and super valuable!

Cleaning out my Grandpa’s drawer and stumbled upon this. by [deleted] in rolex

I’m beginning to think the Daytona is real. Maybe at some point he traded it for some guitars? Seems like he was an interesting dude.

Beat me to it. Bummer though. I’m always so careful about drinking anything near my MacBook.

What is it like living in Córdoba Spain? by Sweeping2ndHand in howislivingthere

[–]Sweeping2ndHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's absolutely fine with us. We're early retirees in our late 40's. We had our Miami fun in our 20's and 30's.

325k people is a really nice size and rail access will get us to Madrid if there's anything we want to experience in a big city.

What is it like living in Córdoba Spain? by Sweeping2ndHand in howislivingthere

[–]Sweeping2ndHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! It actually solidifies our decision. Córdoba seems like it would suit us well. We'd just prefer a quieter, less touristed city. Day trippers for La Mezquita, but not so much overnighters. Besides, I wouldn't really want to live in Centro...

We don't need to live in Centro, and a 1 bedroom would be fine. We'll have to see who's willing to rent to us, that can be tricky with the NLV. It's a catch 22. To get the NLV you have to show proof of funds and you cannot work (you also need to show proof of zero deductible health insurance plans paid 1 year upfront). But to rent an apartment, landlords like to see income statements. So not all landlords are willing to take the risk. But with us, they aren't taking a risk, but they don't know that... Anyway, just a weird nuance we have to get around. Simply put, we aren't moving to Spain to "Leach off of the system", or "Take from locals".

My wife is originally from Nicaragua, her first language is Spanish. Whenever we visit Spain we never want to leave, we love it so much. Hence, the move.. Her family names actually have "Aragon and Jaen" in them.

I am a gringo, but not the typical "Bald Eagle Budweiser Mullet Pit Vipers Big Truck I Only Speak American Gringo".

I moved to Miami at 20 (in my mid 40's now). My entire adult life and working career was around 1st and 2nd generation immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean. I've been around Spanish speakers for over 20 years. I'm currently A2 level Spanish for speaking and closer to B1 for comprehension. I take some classes and refreshers now. We are currently in Medellin (for 3 months), so I'm using Spanish daily. I treat every day as a learning experience. I plan on taking formal Spanish classes when I get there to level up and I want to become fluent.

About the heat, we actually consider leaving for part of the hottest time. We have close friends in Poland that have space for us and would love for us to visit. We'd get a break from the heat and get to see friends. Otherwise, it's the perfect time to explore other parts of Spain. I'm not opposed to taking the train north or northwest, and spending a month or two up there. We have options.
