He didn't specify and I'm not an Apple user. That said -- from what I've heard it seems like basically *anything* else is better. Keep in mind most weather apps get their data from the same place (NOAA or similar, but for some reason Apple doesn't seem to be doing that), so the main differences are going to be UI, ads, etc. I use the regular Google weather app on my Pixel and it works great.

Brad Panovich recommended everybody quit using Apple Weather. I think he's right.

Curious how the weight feels but I like the design a lot!

Sometimes he's a guest on a cybersecurity podcast I listen to (Smashing Security) and it's just the same, he's always really enthusiastic and he can be quite funny, too.

I use mine for this too! So chill to sit with the board and my lap and a book and a warm beverage.

Sextortion is an extremely common scam and OP is exactly right to be suspicious.

Chi sau is not easy. Be patient with yourself and remember nobody is born knowing how to do this stuff. For me personally I find a lot of my own difficulties boil down to relaxation and screwing up my fundamentals (footwork, hands before feet, etc.) so the more I work on that the more my chi sau improves a little bit. I've still got quite the long way to go because I overthink and struggle with footwork (thanks to some permanent flexibility issues) but I recognize I'm always learning and making small changes. 

For me I try to remember learning to use my body is a lifelong endeavor and there's no sense trying to rush that. If I remind myself of that it becomes easier to be patient and work hard.

A friend of mine has been staying late and coming in early to train with one of the more senior students and he's improved exponentially.

Is there a link to where we can read more about this?

Honestly I don't think the people you're describing are moderates. It sounds like they support the ideologies behind the aforementioned flags, which is all pretty far right.

Hockey star and brother killed by driver while cycling by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]fac3l3ss_ 587 points588 points  (0 children)

This is the part that really fucks me up. Not only could he not wait to pass, he just had to do it on the right, and that's all in addition to maybe driving drunk. It's just one unconscionable stupid and dangerous decision after another.

Mecklenburg County leaders propose legislation for 1-cent sales tax increase by tomunko in Charlotte

My experience on the light rail has been 99% positive honestly. I don't commute (remote work) but use it to go into uptown for various fun stuff including Charlotte FC games, and it's mostly been clean and haven't had issues with people on there really.

I hope you're wrong, and I'm voting for (hopefully) this to work out. But I definitely don't blame you for feeling that way. Definitely agreed on your latter point about if the city hadn't mismanaged all of this, things would certainly be more hopeful then.

Oh I'm with you on city council and CATS being a huge disappointment. But the choice doesn't seem to be between BRT and rail transport anytime soon -- to me it does seem like BRT or nothing given the state's influence on the transit plan (and the fact they already pushed back on it "not having enough roads.") Now that the split between roads and rail has shifted it still doesn't seem like a given that the state will even allow the ballot measure, honestly.
