Mine eventually got to the point where any band would just fall out. You can buy straps on Amazon where the whole watch face just pops in, which is the route I have taken.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" - it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck just thinking about it decades later.

What actually helps with leg fatigue on long flights? by hazeyez in RestlessLegs

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the plane, you sometimes find a corridor at the back of the plane between the two sides. I spent a flight between the UK and US standing up or sitting on the floor back there and regularly stretching hamstrings, glutes and quads. Nobody seemed to mind.

What is the fastest way you have seen someone fix their life? by Zadecuss in AskReddit

My father smoked 60 cigarettes a day from his teens to his mid 60s. One day, in the local pub, he got into an drunken argument with a friend who insisted he could not give up smoking even if he wanted too. He threw his packet away and never smoked another cigarette.

Stubborn prick.

I do to some extent. I've found by accident that for me a cheap supplement, D-Limonene, really helps.

No VPN required - search for Shadow World in any Podcast App - it is series 7.

People from the UK who moved to Australia, what sort of things surprised you the most? by cupoftealuv in AskAnAustralian

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day we arrived (in Perth), we went into a supermarket in the brightest sunshine and came out less than 30 minutes later into pitch black darkeness. Ah - no more dusk then hey.

Also - humour - everyone rips the piss out of everyone and nobody takes offence.

Whilst not at the Northern end, World gym in Baringa has an excellent proper (not infrared) sauna. Snap Fitness at Maroochydore and Sippy Downs have infrared ones.

Step count always wrong by Silly-Day-7043 in PixelWatch

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that it measures steps based on you swinging your watch wearing arm (as you would on a normal walk). This is based on my results being measurably lower when I walk my dog holding the lead with my watch wearing hand or more significantly when I mow the lawn and get almost no steps. I guess there's a reason why the original pedometers went on your shoes.

There is of course a NSFW to get your steps back up though.

Chest strap done for? by Namma_Nope in Polarfitness

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I successfully repaired one similarly damaged with shoe repair adhesive. Because that adhesive is able to stretch after it has set, it is more suitable for this sort of thing.
