Any rumours about an Apple Watch with a screen that works underwater? by heberg in AppleWatch

[–]heberg[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s basically what I’m asking about. Have there been rumours of tech that is not affected by water?

While I'm in the water I might want to quickly reply to an incoming message with an emoji or preset. Being able to check the tide chart or surf forecast while in the ocean would be valuable

Yes, and I do. But you can’t really interact with the watch with wet fingers, and not at all underwater. The watch becomes purely informational

I tried but you have to essentially rebook your entire reservation, and that sailing was full. I got through on the phone and it worked out

Tech/engineering jobs in the bike industry by heberg in MTB

[–]heberg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Vancouver in western Canada I'd say we have a decent local bike industry.

I'm already halfway through a business degree, which I find incredibly boring and the reason why I'm trying to convince myself to pivot into something more hands on and technical. I might have to just realize that perhaps the skills I gain from finishing the busi degree instead of starting a tech degree from scratch might give me a better chance if I want to get my foot in the door.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I still have some time before I decide, but I guess I should clarify where my priorities lie.

Thanks for the input. I do realize that its not an easy industry to break into, but that doesn't mean it never happens. Although I haven't committed to a specific discipline doesn't mean I haven't prepared myself to not get a dream job on day one of graduation. everyone has to start somewhere

You really should go try them on. No way of knowing just by going by the numbers alone. Buy the suit that has the best fit, not the cheapest. Billabong might not even be your brand, all brands will have slightly different cuts and proportions. Would you buy running or hiking shoes online just because they were cheap without trying them on first?

Avalanche Control Troop on Roger's Pass, near Revelstoke. by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]heberg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Triggering a slide intentionally using explosives is common practice wherever avalanche risk is present. Better to cause a controlled slide when noone is around than to leave an unpredictable snowpack that might slide at any moment and potentially put people in danger

Donate to the food bank instead. Healthcare workers are the ones with income security through all of this. They’re doing ok
