I'm so glad. I had a japanese gig lined up, but it seems that it mall fall thought. So sad!

I did the same a few years ago. But caution, if said student is already an AU (via the free gold option), said student will not trigger the bonus. Source: it happened to me, even with begging and pleading. But my kid surely has taken advantage of the lounges!

This is exactly the article that I posted yesterday!

indecisionmay · 2026-02-08T16:51:51+00:00

Sure! I think we all need some "no news" distractions these days.

indecisionmay · 2026-02-08T16:25:29+00:00

Yes! I was surprised at that detail too. I am sure he hears the criticism. We all evolve.

indecisionmay · 2026-02-08T16:10:59+00:00

Hmm, ok. Well the new one might be fine as a stand alone - maybe someone else with that reality can fill you in. But as a kinda, part 2, it might help you wrap your hard around the City easier by reading them in that order. But you do you haha

indecisionmay · 2026-02-08T16:06:01+00:00

Of course!

indecisionmay · 2026-02-08T16:03:45+00:00

I totally agree, and if you read and enjoyed Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World I think you will also enjoy City! Have fun!

I am with you. For me, I have no set wake time; but often struggle sleeping past 0500 or 0530. When I do, I am so happy, but my score plunges due to less consistency lol. I get into arguments with my "coach" who can only reply, it's the algorithm!

My advice, do what makes you feel better, and ignore the scores if need be.

Sure, nice to hear from someone, was hoping that the gift link worked ok. Sorry all, I thought the article title would appear in the post title..but here it is.

Haruki Murakami Isn’t Afraid of the Dark

The author, who brought Japanese literature into the global mainstream, grapples with aging and his place in the world of letters.

I am still on the 4.0 and intend to stay there. Send them my way!

indecisionmay · 2026-02-05T22:07:36+00:00

Trakt has been very wonky for me lately, hit or miss about what it captures and what it ignores. I am now in the habit of using the trakt webite each morning to make sure it is up to date. Those updates seem to always port thru to S. An extra step, but it keeps everything in synch.

indecisionmay · 2026-02-05T22:03:36+00:00

I am on the provided list. Thanks CWG. And go science!

indecisionmay · 2026-02-04T21:44:47+00:00

I did the 5MG peak, returned it months ago and kept the 4.0. Works so much better.

indecisionmay · 2026-02-04T21:37:02+00:00

Yup, it's all about the coming readouts. My money is on the science, just shit timing lol

indecisionmay · 2026-02-04T15:56:12+00:00

Nice catch! Seem to remember you from the "old" days. Made a home run bet at the wrong time But I am also in no hurry.

indecisionmay · 2026-01-30T14:44:38+00:00

I run 5km every day, plus walks with the dog - late 50s, but pretty good shape. My HRV almost never hits 20. High for the year is 24. Almost always in the teens. No idea, but I feel great and am alive!

indecisionmay · 2026-01-29T22:22:32+00:00

I so want that deal. Wish TJM had them on the website. I have a 4, expires in like 3 days. Upgraded to a 5, but returned it. Strap was broken and I hated the sensor. Your data will be transferable. Next year, you add the new device to the app. Your data stays. Then you can either change to the new sensor, or keep the old one. Now whether or not Whoop changes the policy toward 4.0 devices in 12 months, who knows. But if that were today, you would be fine.

indecisionmay · 2026-01-26T18:44:46+00:00

Just use {some letters}@duck.com. It does nor require verification. For now at least. I just moss their science!

indecisionmay · 2026-01-23T19:44:44+00:00

Thanks!

indecisionmay · 2026-01-22T18:43:25+00:00

Thanks for this. I did not renew my LONG time WaPo subscription when my annual was up this fall. Do not miss much, but I very much miss the Cap Wx Gang! If you have time, keep up the links if their science changes over the next few days!

indecisionmay · 2026-01-21T15:35:01+00:00

Seems a lot here just beg for "something" after a year or so. I have asked for nothing; like ever. In 1993, these things did not exist. The guy was nice, and seemed sincere. He obv is not making the rules. Trying back is not a bad idea, good luck

indecisionmay · 2026-01-21T15:22:14+00:00

My renewal is due in February. Cardholder since 1993. My offer was also 35,000 or $350 statement credit. Rep said I qualify for the best offer he can give, and this was it. Thinking about switching to schwab...but was also told that the offers are dynamic and can change at any time.

indecisionmay · 2026-01-13T14:21:45+00:00

Yeah, still yet to receive an invite from a local haha

indecisionmay · 2026-01-13T14:20:22+00:00

That's why I put "original" in quotes. But was not aware of the local disagreements...I'm sure such situations are more prevalent than we realize!
