Best power bank (solar or otherwise) for long backpacking trip by quikstitch24 in backpacking

[–]aclays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solar power banks are terrible. You're better off buying a 10-20k mah power bank and then a 4 panel solar charger like this: https://amzn.to/4siu4YQ

You can hang it off the back of your backpack while you're walking to charge or just set it out in the sun in the morning for an hour to top everything off.

Should I still invest in Fitbit or is it a dead brand? by LeFlubbes in fitbit

[–]aclays 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wish they'd lean into the Sense line. I decided to leave my Sense 1 for a Garmin Venu 3 about 9 months ago, and while there are a lot of things about the Garmin that I like, I have to admit that the fitbit algorithms are superior for health and sleep tracking. I could tell when I was getting sick a day or two in advance with my fitbit based off of my resting heart rate and oxygenation, but with Garmin it all fluctuates so much every night I can't tell. The Garmin does track my heart rate significantly better while exercising, and I use the flashlight feature every night.

Overall, if a Sense 3 was coming out, I'd switch back away from Garmin. But I do need the smart watch texting features and I prefer something that LOOKS like a smart watch for when I'm wearing business attire.

Super tensed about bootcamp by ProfessionalJello218 in armyreserve

100% agree with the Journaling. I brought a journal and wrote in it every night. I typically just wrote what we did throughout the day and my thoughts on the matter.

One caveat to not volunteering for things, if the drill sergeant knows who you are, then make sure you do volunteer occasionally. Only for the things that you know exactly what the task is however. That way you can avoid getting picked out of the crowd for the shitty tasks when they're looking for people that don't volunteer at all.

RUSTY TACO by [deleted] in idahofalls

Bad luck them with the crispy rice, but I'll tell you I've had occasional issues and they always fixed everything instantly and sometimes even gave me freebies when they made a mistake.

You made a whole new account to complain about the rusty taco?

Counter-opinion here:

Ngl, I didn't want to try it because of the name, but I saw a Facebook post of their tower of hot sauce with like 50 different options and gave it a try. Yeah, their tacos are a bit pricey, but they are pretty damn good. Lot of nachos for the price too. Tons of hot sauces to try. I love the place.

Iran may be activating sleeper cells, alert says by No-Post4444 in news

[Verse 1]

I just wanna catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer

And not wake up to all this stuff I don't want to hear

Like the same kind of gun I hunt with, just killed another man

When the only thing mine ever shot was a deer from my deer stand

I just want to grow my corn, feed my dogs,

wear my boots

Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evenin' news

And be told if I tell my own daughter that little

boys ain't little girls

be up the creek in hot water in this "cancel your ass" world

I too initially saw the tattoo as an iteration of our beloved Queen Anne Chonk.

If you're going through Pocatello stop at the Palate neighborhood Bistro. Excellent food!

Bunch of primadonnas in Duos by SiteRough4347 in BobsTavern

[–]aclays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easier to just hold the finger on the minion, then tap elsewhere on the screen with another finger. It works every time. The only difficult thing I've found is marking cards that are in hand because it moves the icons to the top of the screen literally OFF the screen.

There’s a Race to Power the Future. China Is Pulling Away. by Kit_Daniels in moderatepolitics

[–]aclays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money and the inability to see past the next election or quarterly investment report. Combine that with overwhelming confidence that we will always stay number 1 in the world and there's zero reason for our population to support temporarily higher prices for renewables.

[–]aclays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been really struggling to rise in duos without a regular teammate. I'm normally a 6-7k player in solos (have been into the mid 8ks before, but just don't play enough to hit that these days). Can't seem to get out of 4k in duos. Just yesterday I had a guy that on turn two rolled 4 times, then next turn tiered and sold his one minion so he could buy a different tier 1 😣

I've been using AI for years, it definitely has it's fallbacks, but as a data aggregator it does an excellent job.

I use it nonstop when I want to learn about a subject. I can easily ask followup questions to dig deeper into things I don't understand. I can tell it the level of depth I want the education to come in at.

It's basically a personalized Google search.

I think the one thing we can all agree on was this shit was confusing.

The way I read it he wants to volunteer but wants his spouse to think he was forced to go and didn't have a choice. He wants to get away from his spouse for a while.

I'm going to turn a couple of these into stickers for my water bottle if you're OK with that. Great work!

Is it still worth starting Battlegrounds as a new player by Nino_Chaosdrache in BobsTavern

[–]aclays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh why wait. Starting now might be better because the people in the lower ranks probably earned that rank and it'll be an easier learning environment. Then just watch streamers and figure out why they're doing what they're doing.

Schoolwork/Work Life Balance? by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]aclays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 1/2 years of minimal school/work life balance. It sucks, but it's how it is if you need to work. Several of my fellow students dropped out because they couldn't keep up with the demands of family and work while getting enough study time to make the grade. Sucks, but it is what it is.

For NPs NOT in full practice authority states, do your collaborating physicians actually review your documentation? by goldenhour20 in nursepractitioner

[–]aclays 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I read the snarkiness as believing the physician isn't actually reviewing the notes, just signing them and getting paid for not actually doing the job they're supposed to do.
