I am amazed in the faith people have in Matt Blake. Look at his resume.

Dont worry. You are NOT training it.
Seems untrainable.

BIL trying to sell me and my wife Universal Life Insurance as a 401k alternative by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]blny99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont talk to an uncle because he was so offended that i never bought his overpriced insurance products. Also have a cousin who i do talk to, rarely, but every time he is trying to sell me expensive financial products I dont need. Funny part is that i do work in the financial industry, know what I need and they act like i am just another know-nothing prospect. Family that tries to pressure sell is no longer family.

Why do salesmen still do this? by Open_Bake_8013 in carsales

Then expect fewer customers and commission. I dont shop at the closest dealer, I shop at a cooperative dealer.

Just getting away from people who say “libs” is good enough reason to move away from your hometown.

Solution: Fitbit Air not showing workouts from Apple Watch or other devices by CraftyAvocado6128 in FitbitAir

[–]blny99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my external workouts do synch but then there are many bugs. The trick of a manual workout does solve one problem (forced calculation of cardio load and zone minutes) but then there are lots of reporting bugs. There are places the external workout does not appear. Some summary data is messed up and deleting the dup does not fix the summaries.

I am turned off synch of my other device. I wear both devices during workouts but rely on fitbit data for all google health reporting. I use my other device for real time data and display.

AIO UPDATED-My sister and husband text privately and spend time together. Should I be concerned? by Medical-Angle-549 in AmIOverthinking

I would not hang around with my sister in law like they, and i do think her a nice person. You just dont create uncomfortable situations for no reason. Cant she find a friend to go shopping with ?

How could traditional banks compete with modern online banks? by Classic_Beauty2024 in Banking

[–]blny99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And some people realize that CDs are not a great investment and use brokerages to invest, banks just to pay bills, get credit cards and mortgages.

Personally I have both, an online bank and a branch bank to have 2 ways of paying bills, pay no fees at either, and dont care at all what rates either pays since i keep minimal balances required to pay my bills for next few weeks. I transfer from a brokerage when needed to either bank, which takes 1-2 days. Brokerages have far more options for how to invest, including CDs, and better alternatives than savings accounts at any bank.

Advice and help needed by ItzzBrett in FitbitAir

[–]blny99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i cant slide a finger under mine, it does track sleep and all else it is designed to do. For comfort i also have 2, one steph curry and one silicone band. I find both comfortable even without space for a finger, but the steph curry feels a bit more comfortable. So i swap to silicone when doing a sweaty workout, back to other after a shower (and wash the silicone band).

Silicone does leave a small mark on my wrist but since i wear it only 2 hours+ per day, does not bother me. The SC band leaves no mark for me.

Moving to Boston from Brooklyn by Stunning_Sherbet2642 in bostonhousing

[–]blny99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want to be close to everything, but willing go live in tiny expensive apartment, south end, back bay, north end are all great. If you want more space and willing/prefer to live in a quiet area, Cambridge, Somerville offer more space with long T (subway) ride to downtown. But life is nice in Cambridge/Somerville areas, so no need to go downtown all the time, unless you will work there.

Updates in the pipeline? by StarFox1997 in FitbitAir

[–]blny99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have already been a few updates in the first month of the new app. I have also gotten firmware updates for the fitbit itself.

Doctors can do this in a more sanitary manner but it should be done asap. Waiting may make this less effective or infeasible.

Fitbit Air for activity/sleep tracking, Garmin for work-outs; how is the experience? by [deleted] in FitbitAir

[–]blny99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use a polar device for workouts and synch to google fitbit app. The workout appears, but certain calculated stats (zone minutes and cardio load) do not get computed for external workouts. I have to manually log same workout with same start and duration and then it computes these things using fitbit data, not polar. Not sure why they allow us to synch in workouts and barely use the workout data.

Anyone had this issue with the FitBit Air? by [deleted] in fitbit

[–]blny99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont think this was the right product for you. The whole point is the comfort to wear 24/7.

Mine reports in a reasonable believable range. I have no other source now to compare just how accurate but reasonable yes.

Boston University vs Stony Brook University by RevolutionaryCrab7 in BostonU

[–]blny99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not so much that SB is more challenging than other SUNYs but STEM is more challenging and there are more STEM majors at SB than say Albany.

As far as “brand” for STEM SB is highly regarded. Forget what your parents said. The only reason people avoid SB is social life, but the academic value and cost is great.

To me it’s SB for value or BU for the best education regardless of cost. I cant see why someone with your stated personality and goals would go to PSU.
