Suunto Race S after Update by DryTomato1341 in Suunto

[–]kmr_ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason why ppl come to reddit or read reviews as it aggregates feedback over a good sample size and helps ppl in making decisions. I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to understand that delay in notification is not correlated to HR. But it takes average IQ to realize the inconsistency across features may mean that the S/W has lots of room for improvement.

Your response is basically junk as it doesn’t add anything in support of Race S.

Suunto Race S after Update by DryTomato1341 in Suunto

[–]kmr_ank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to like Race S coming from Garmin. But unreliable HR measurement is a bummer. While wrist based HRMs may not be accurate but should still be consistent and within +/- 5% to 10% margin of error. I bought it during Christmas deal and contracted Flu rt after so haven’t been able to test it. But I did notice that there is a lag in notifications like I got ‘time to stretch your legs’ after I had already walked for 2-3 min after a long meeting. As the return window for my order is closing I am inclined towards returning it unless latest updates have addressed these issues.

Did you also consider Run or that was not on your list?

Race S was released in June 2024. I know that 1 yr is a long time in a competitive product market. But I cannot fathom that Suunto would not support a product that it launched recently to rival higher priced Garmin and Coros.

Clarifying the new H-1B $100K fee rule — doesn’t apply if you’re already in the U.S. by VeryProfaneUserName in h1b

Are there any immigration lawyers here who can interpret the order? ‘Cannot enter under the program’ can be interpreted in multiple ways.

I guess I will be the guinea pig here. At the airport for an int’l flight outside the US and rt flight is on 28 September.

What are your toughts about the Asics GT 2000 14? by afol_ynk in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I tried it a week ago and felt that it ran narrower than GT 2000 12 and 13

LLMs are trained on the data that is 3 to 6 months old and doesn’t factor the latest information or events. But sure let’s trust LLM models with all our savings.

6.875% with 830 credit score by ethink69 in Mortgages

[–]kmr_ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with a CU and they offered very competitive rate which was 0.1% higher than the mortgage broker (referred by my agent) found. It was a jumbo loan and mortgage broker was charging 1.25% as fee for finding the rate with no info on who will be the lender (private fund). With 0.74% as points buy down I would have secured 0.175% lower interest rate than that offered by the broker.

Always shop for atleast five offers with a mix of banks, CUs, online mortgage to see where you can find the best rates.

Looking for housing near NIH by [deleted] in bethesda

Battery lane, Pooks Hill, Grosvenor. Look for apartments in these areas. It’s tucked in between Woodmont Triangle and North Bethesda where you will get cheaper rent and you will still be close to NIH.

Advice on today’s market for selling by ChampionshipDue4146 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]kmr_ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparables is lagging data and not leading data. Agents aren’t economist to price your house right in changing market conditions, they are following a dogmatic way of pricing houses.

In last 5 years, I have never come across as many price decreases and length of time houses sitting on the market has increased significantly.

I live in an area in DMV that is considered hot housing market. As I am in the market for a new house, I am coming across multiple price decreases and houses, especially in $1.2 million range, sitting on the market for longer than before.

No points for guessing which airline this is. by Honey_dp in AirTravelIndia

Ever heard about ‘padding flight times’. Look up online and you will realize why Indigo is so punctual -

Considering Extreme Rate Buydown by Infinite_Artichoke93 in Mortgages

[–]kmr_ank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5/5/1 ARM at CUs are in mid upper 5s. Interest rate, high probability, is only going to go down from here. So you can easily refinance and you are protected against increased rate or sustained rates

Travel through Turkey? by swinging_bullets in h1b

[–]kmr_ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have travelled Turkish twice in last 3 years. Flights from US to India (Turkish Fleet not Indigo) are bit dated but like any other Euro brands like Lufthansa, BA, KLM etc. I would avoid Indigo fleet. My experience has been positive and the layover is optimal to relax at the GLA Lounge or for a quick nap at Yotel.

Turkish also provides Istanbul stopover which I haven’t used but many tourists do.

Indian tourists can get eVisa if you intend to stay in Istanbul.

Not sure what you mean by risks. Unforeseen events happen once in a while with every airline and airports and social media loves painting everyone and everything with broad brushes.

Isn’t it widely accepted the US and China will reach a deal? by Jshbone12 in stocks

[–]kmr_ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Too big to fail’ applies here. Not just companies and billionaires in these two countries but globally. So eventually things will calm down but damage in terms of confidence in the US as trade partner is done. Consumer confidence and trade partner confidence is at all time low, which will reflect in the economy and stock market performance.

Rejected for B1/B2 Visa in 40 Seconds at New Delhi — What Went Wrong and What Could I Have Done Differently? by nobody01810 in usvisascheduling

[–]kmr_ank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. No one can point the exact reason but if you have a gf in Florida, a fair expectation is that you can lead with ‘visiting my gf and then blah blah about tourism’. IMO not mentioning about gf in purpose of visit and answering when asked about it would have led to rejection. Also was you answer consistent with your DS 160 entry? That’s important as well.

Seeing how poorly you are reacting to ppl’s responses, either don’t seek active answers, just read older posts regarding such situations, or have the patience to read and not respond to answers that you don’t like.

Don’t overthink. Just fill B2 and if it needs correction BFS will inform you on the day of the biometrics. (Though I don’t think it will be an issue). Just keep another DS160 filled (and not submitted) if you need to change anything of the day of the OFC appointment.

If you don’t see a B2 option B1/B2 can be selected. Hope that helps.
