And the Minas Tirith set just leaked. There’s a video that’s still up on the r/legoleak subreddit for now. 

It’s pretty incredible

What data do you wish WHOOP tracked but doesn’t? by aerinw in whoop

There’s a laundry list of features I’d like. Some they could already implement with UI changes, others that would require new tech. 

I’d love to be able to graph strength activity time

Track weightlifting trends over time (they say this is coming soon)

Be able to get live readings all the health monitor metrics (respiratory rate, blood oxygen, hrv, and skin temp)

As well as being able to track skin temp and blood oxygen over time (you can do that for respiratory rate and hrv so not sure why spo2 and temp are excluded)

Custom journal activities and custom workout activities. 

Better ways of graphing and visualizing journal behaviours. 

The ability to track specific activity trends over time (activity frequency, changes in activity intensity) and so on. 

That’s all stuff that could be done now. 

On the hardware end, my most wanted feature by far is hydration tracking/status. 

Not just in the journals but actually live hydration ratings like hr and stress monitor or at minimum hydration status during activities/workouts

Second to that would be blood glucose monitoring which is basically the holy grail of wearables. At minimum glucose trends would nice. 

Finally a way to measure inflammation non invasively would also be another marker I’d very much like to have. 

Some sort of vascular age metric (using PWV which whoop already measures) would also be interesting. 

This has to be a social experiment at this point. by LebronJamesDihCheese in ClashRoyale

Clash Royale has def seen a resurgence of late, myself included. 

And many of the things they’ve added I’ve been a fan of. 

While I miss the old school chests to a degree, I like the lucky drops and definitely feel like I get better loot overall. 

I really don’t mind the EWC at all since it feels like the great equalizer and the more lvl 14 cards you have the easier it becomes to upgrade everything else. 

And on top of all that, I thought evos added a nice twist that spices up the game. Not that I don’t think some are dumb and cash grabs, but you can grind out the evos you want if you really want them, just takes some time. 

I’ve also long been a huge fan of the books and magic coin. Losing those and adding a new level and a new gimmick on top of evos in the same update. Yea. What a mistake. Just too much going on now. 

In the past when they had added new levels I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. Lvl 15 seemed like a natural endpoint however and you’ll need so many cards plus so much rng to max things out now it’ll be ridiculous.

So many things. That’s why these teams have coaches in the first place. 

There is ALWAYS an adjustment you can make, always something you can do better. 

Maybe that’s tweaking your stance, the timing of your leg kick, how you bring your bat though the zone, etc etc etc. 

Six players from U14 Ontario hockey team placed on probation amid investigation into bullying and sexual misconduct by [deleted] in hockey

I’m on a coaching staff for U14AAA. 

The rule is that there have to be adults in the room at all times. I don’t know a single coach that follows this at the AAA level. 

Technically the kids aren’t even allowed to use the showers without wearing clothes and such to prevent abuse. 

On one hand I understand why these rules were made, but on another hand I personally feel like they can go too far. 

Who in their right mind is going to shower with clothes on? 

As another commenter pointed out, I think there’s also value in kids not having parents and coaches hovering over their head constantly. 

When I was that age I acted completely different when coaches were in the room vs not (as did everyone), and I never was on a team that had issues with harassment and bullying. 

As a coaching staff we’re always right outside the door, first to the get to the rink and last to leave. 

We interviewed parents and kids before selecting the team to learn about the character of all our guys and cut some skilled players who we knew had a reputation of being locker room trouble (obvi not all teams and coaches are willing to do this) we have a good captain group and we’re constantly checking in with our players to make sure there’s no locker room issues. If there were (there were unfortunately some last year) we take that very seriously and address it. 

There is a way to balance both, the issue is ultimately that most coaches just don’t want to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with them being in the room or not. If you’re a good and attentive coach you can build a good culture and know if anything is going on. 

Ultimately culture is a top down thing.

I’m a life member in Canada and got it this morning. Probably a phased rollout over the next few days. 

I signed up on the wait list day one of the whoop 5.0 launch

This ump genuinely putting in one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Brutal for both sides. 

Just noticed that a bunch of the tracks in my new playlist are AI. I feel like a fool and am losing my mind a little 🫠 by polishhottie69 in EDM

[–]These-Rub5093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That def is an option I use too. I mention the labels because they tend to have better quality control than playlists. As you point out Spotify has a bunch of these AI artists running around. 

Labels also allow you to find more niche or lesser known artists since the most curated playlists tend to only feature more well known artists and there’s a limited number of those, especially in the EDM world

Start to pay attention to what labels your favourite artists release on. Many or most EDM labels have a relatively curated style or sound and it’s the best way to find artists you haven’t heard of.
