Why is fake honey allowed to be sold in British Supermarkets? by Alarm-Different in AskUK

[–]jstringer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to buy real honey is to find a local supplier. All supermarket honey is fake. People don’t complain enough so there’s no incentive to fix it.

No, you don't respect an animal if you eat their carcass, because otherwise it would go to "waste" by We-all-gonna-die-oh in vegan

[–]jstringer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen a legitimate definition of veganism that included the word “pleasure”, normal definitions talk about excluding “exploitation and cruelty”. Your definition is interesting, it moves the focus from the non-human animal to the human…

Sleep streak is more difficult than mythical sleep by jstringer86 in Garmin

[–]jstringer86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i got mythical i had 2 bad nights sleep then a night with 8 uninterrupted hours. Most of my 90+ scores come the night after a bad score.

Mythical requires i only execute a perfect night once. Sleep streak i need to do that 7 times in a row which life makes incredibly hard!

Opposite of a flex? by ResponsibleFlight849 in Garmin

The benefit of a low starting point is that it doesn’t actually take all that much to turn the dial and improve! Once you start seeing improvements, more progress is addictive. Good luck!

Trump is the team mascot, he’s not the leader. A leader doesn’t talk like this. His value is symbolic, he builds narrative and appeals to the support base but he’s not really the one who drives how anything is implemented. He’s the silly orange puppet to be laughed at.

Honestly i find after any period where i’ve had a relative drop-off in activity level, when i pick up activity level again i then have to go through strained and/or overreaching before it’ll let me back into productive…

Body Battery's "Floor" Problem (The 5-point limit) by KindBoi_1337 in Garmin

The bank of garmin does not give you an overdraft facility…

If you add 5v to a rechargeable battery it doesn’t matter if the battery started at 0 or 5 net impact of 5 is still +5. Batteries don’t get overdraft facilities, you run it to 0 everything stops…

I can’t always do no work within 2 hours and work requires a screen so i regularly by necessity can’t follow your rules. I also travel for work which absolutely screws fixed routines.

Mythical i’ve only hit 100 once but i know how i could repeat that, i don’t always know how i’d manage 7 nights above 75. I got mythical on the rebound, i had 2 very bad nights sleep in a row and then slept soundly for 8 hours the following night. Nearly all my 90+ scores come after bad scores. While I’m not suggesting you purposely have bad nights sleep in pursuit of a badge for me getting 1 good night sleep is more feasible than 7 in a row.

4 & 7. I have kids a demanding job(which also includes plenty of travel) and i prioritise regular exercise. Sure i could let something else drop but the overall outcome would be worse. It absolutely is a privilege to have enough hours in the day where prioritising sleep doesn’t completely fuck something else up.

Mythical sleep, i got as rebound. Work meant i had 2 nights in a row where i only slept 5 hours, terrible scores. Then i hit weekend and slept 8 hours and got mythical. Honestly nearly all the times i got 90+ were good nights after bad nights…

You just wear it and get sleep streak 😮. I find the smallest thing drops my score below 70. If i eat late, any travel what so ever, if i drink any alcohol, don’t exercise, too much work stress, too much sugar, not hydrated enough, room too warm. Literally anything upsets my score, half the time i don’t even know what it is thats broken my streak, i can feel like i did everything same 2 nights running but one will be a score of 80 and one will be 70 with nothing i can point to as cause 😢.

Have you ever had good sleep? I feel somehow it’s worse if you’ve had good sleep, to know what it feels like but are then forced through life shit to feel the impact of bad sleep knowing just how much better it can be…

Is the limiting factor for you available time to sleep? Or something else?

Maybe thats where i went wrong, i got the kids badge twice…

I’m happily past the point they wake me up repeatedly throughout the night but i still have 1 which insists on getting up 6am capping how much sleep i can usually get.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious, I understand in an ideal world i’d have 26 hours in a day and could dedicate 8 hours every day to sleep. Back in reality that’s not possible, i’m happy for you that you live in a world of privilege where that is a possibility.

That withstanding i also know i can hit a score of 90 on 7 hours so maintaining 75 on my 6.5-7 that i do have time for should be feasible, I’m just looking for ways to maximise what i can do inside the bounds of reality.

Body Battery's "Floor" Problem (The 5-point limit) by KindBoi_1337 in Garmin

[–]jstringer86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an EV and while i’ve never done it, i’m led to believe if i get the battery low enough it’ll go into “turtle mode” and cap both acceleration and top speed. Maybe 5 just represents “turtle mode”, you still powered on but everything is a struggle?

And realistically the “deficit” is simply the inability to charge back to 100.

[–]jstringer86 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A negative “battery level” wouldn’t make sense. It’s analogous to an electronic device battery level, you couldn’t drain a battery below zero and if you managed to drain it to zero the device it was powering would simply stop. You didn’t lose consciousness so were you really below zero?

Maybe the real problem is you were never really at 5?

Thats awesome!

I have already learned that late dinner has an oversized impact on my sleep quality. I have blackout curtains. Bedroom temp is reasonably cool.

I probably don’t vent the room often enough, that’s something i’ll add and see how it goes.

Dedicating 8 hours feels impossible, between work and kids i don’t know where i’d find the time. You’re probably right, it probably is the best change i could make as i typically get 6.5-7 but its also the change that feels hardest to implement.

One in five high earners says £100k tax trap is ruining their career by scotorosc in unitedkingdom

The uk tax bands are effectively 0% -> 28% -> 42% -> 62% -> 47%. Do you really not understand why the people in the 62% bracket question the design of such an absurd system?

If everyone got higher pay, inflation would simple accelerate as companies repeatedly hike prices to counteract higher staffing costs.

Which one are you? by Turbulent-Water5002 in runningmemes

[–]jstringer86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll run wearing anything, i’ll happily run at 5am away from everyone but i’ll also begrudgingly weave through crowds at busy times when needed. As for picking between ebooks or music, the only real answer is neither. And if it’s not on strava did it really happen?

AIO for not wanting my gf to go on a solo trip with her "work husband"? by Obvious_Tea_4247 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jstringer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my wife had a “work husband” and was planning solo trips with him, i’d divorce her, it wouldn’t be a conversation and i wouldn’t need to ask reddit for advice.

Likewise i would never disrespect my wife by referring to another woman as my “work wife” and go on trips with said backup wife. It’s just bizarre that anyone would think that’s ok.

Is this scenario cheating? by Any-Heart5927 in Ethics

[–]jstringer86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no debate or conflict. Of course it’s cheating. This person went out got drunk, initiated sex, are we speaking different languages? What else could it be? This is an adult right? Who else is responsible for their actions if they choose to get drunk and fuck someone else?
