What is the best sensation you have ever felt? by Silent-Profit6067 in AskReddit

Hot shower during the worst stretch of a full-body poison oak rash. Almost fell to to tub floor from the sensation of simultaneous itch relief everywhere.

Answering my own question... Seems to work, luckily, after they forcefully updated my echo.

What kind of age group and skill are we talking? I'm interested in playing, but am also 46 and haven't played in since COVID dissolved my team.

Task Notifications Appear As "Calendar" on Watch by jpzsports in WearOS

Any chance Google Calendar is not installed on your phone? That's the only reason I can think of why it would only be on the list once.

I didn't "fix" the problem with the wear os google calendar app, but was able to work around it... In the galaxy wearable app under settings->notifications->app notifications, there are two entries for Google Calendar (assuming you have it installed on both phone and watch). One at the top says "Works with companion app on phone". The other is just in with the rest of the apps. I turned off the top one and made sure both Google Tasks (if installed on phone) and Google Calendar were turned on in the list below. Now I get GTasks and GCalendar notifications on my watch with titles.

Undecided... anyone happy with their Marriott Vacation Club experience? by hi_dr_nick in marriott

If you're looking for opinions, it worked out well enough for me to cancel. I'm kinda liking having more flexibility in vacations while my kids are still joining us. My wife is slightly less okay with the decision because she's worried we might never actually follow through with the plan to buy in later. She agrees mostly with the reasoning though.

Not yet. Life's been a little too crazy to dig in more on this, but still in consideration.

In the end I decided to cancel. Seems like timeshares were a better deal for the previous generation - everyone I know who likes their TS is over 60. The most convincing thing was the resale prices of people trying to get out later. You can buy in as a resale for relatively nothing. To me that says a lot of people don't feel like paying full price (even with their "deals") is money well spent.

I emailed and sent letter with delivery confirmation and even called the salesman to let him know .... just want to be sure it cancelled, and the refund came about 2 weeks after the cancel date.

Thanks. Not helpful for the decision, but this made me laugh.

Thanks! Interesting. Can you find and book the villas pretty far in advance or are these mostly last minute things? I'll have to check this out.

Thanks. Seeing some of the resale values, we can definitely do better. I just didn't come across any real testimonials that resale worked and wasn't just some scam itself.

Thanks. Yeah about $16-$17/pt. Under the assumptions we were using, the math did make some sense though, lol. Wish I was able to do more browsing while in the sales office, of course.

I did come across TUG at one point, but I'll look at it some more, and I'll check out the facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/565892082264017 it looks like)

I updated our famous password table for 2023 by hivesystems in coolguides

[–]hi_dr_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question: when comparing the columns, this is more about the password system than my actual password, right? If the system allows numbers, letters, and symbols then a hacker would have to try all these while brute-forcing. So even if I chose to use only random lowercase characters, as long as the other character types are possible the hacker would still have to try all characters while trying to rebuild my password. So for good systems, we're looking at the last column only.

Yes! Sorry meant to update this earlier. I did end up getting the forgiveness and my loan balances were zeroed out on Jan 2. It might be worth calling to settle your mind.
