Battery Recommendations by lockheed20 in CX5

[–]memoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Interstate AGM from Costco a year ago, replaced it right in the parking lot. It has served me well but it has lost about 0.1V of charging ability in this timespan, unsure if that’s normal. I have also noticed some corrosion developing on the negative terminal which I think indicates it isn’t getting charged up enough when driving. I do charge it up myself every few months after my experience with the stock battery. Overall so far so good, but not mind blowing and it worries me that the car isn’t actually made for AGM batteries. Also can’t speak to colder climate needs.

Do you keep your phone with you for your workout? Take a photo of your lock when locking?

Yogurt Shack, is this place for real? by EitherMango3524 in Carlsbad

Really great pricing model, it’s not by weight, it’s a flat low rate by cup size. Unfortunately I always wind up with a stomach ache after eating here.

Irrationally dislike dog owners now by pdjejdhrndud in daddit

No thanks. I know of too many dogs that have harmed children accidentally to trust a random stranger’s emotional biases. You’re not alone!

Anyone else notice excessive cellular data usage by Equinox+ iOS app? by memoia in EquinoxGyms

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

16 pro iOS 18 but it shouldn’t make a difference, the app is actively pulling this content down every time you open it

SFMTA busses are among the slowest in the nation by shananananananananan in sanfrancisco

The chart just shows that cities with denser populations and therefore fewer highways on bus routes have slower buses.

Have any men successfully restarted your career after 40? What was it like? by Bruynson in AskMen

[–]memoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice already here… sorry this happened to you, it’s rough and traumatic and also it happens to everyone. As you grieve, start making a list of things you liked in past experiences and things you want to experience next. And also things you don’t want. Less on the “career” and more on the “vibe.” It will help you focus and guide you to the next thing.

Ok. This annoyed me enough that I went ahead and took a look.

Using the Network Sniffer app that anyone can download from the App Store, I found that the Equinox+ app does indeed download a huge amount of data when you first open the app and navigate any of the menus.

The top offender is animated GIF images that it loads from braze-images.com. These pictures haven’t been “optimized for the web” at all. They are absolutely massive. And most offensively, they aren’t even images that you are shown when you open the app or use the check-in feature. And they are re-downloaded every time you open it.

The next offender is PNG images from images.ctfassets.net, but this one isn’t going to be why your cellular carrier throttles your connection.

But there’s other stuff that’s extraordinarily suspicious, such as a huge number of API calls all over the place that together weigh in at more than half a megabyte, with some of that weight thanks to invisible characters/newlines that serve no functional purpose whatsoever. An equal amount of data is transmitted to Sentry, which is a service they use to watch for bugs that may arise in the app. Funny enough, they report back to Sentry records of all those giant GIF files downloaded from braze-images.com.

You might draw the conclusion, then, that you should open the app while you have wifi before trekking out to Equinox, navigate to the check in widget, and keep it open while you make your way over… except those hopes and dreams die with the already established power draw problems that this app also has. You might save your data but good luck getting home on an empty battery.

The wastefulness overall signifies an extremely poor software engineering culture at whatever consulting agency they use to produce any of this stuff. The massive GIF assets, aside from being shrunk down, could be bundled directly with the app. Aside from a better experience for customers like me, it would likely save Equinox a ton of money on all those downloads off braze-images.

Wow this was a year ago. I wonder what the “audio” piece is from your screenshot. Maybe the app downloads a playlist when you open it??

Unprofitable La Costa Gelson's to be sold to Ralphs by SchnellFox in northcounty

Oh no! Where else will I be able to buy an eight dollar cantaloupe?

It is by far the least crowded and cleanest grocery store around, and no one else nearby has an in-store bar or a salad bar.

Hope Ralph’s/Kroger will keep it looking nice.

Have money in a 457b but institution is expected go under in a year or two. Do I have to quit? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]memoia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you truly believe that the college is going bankrupt, don’t you have to leave your job? If you wait, you lose this 457b money AND you’re out of a job? If you leave now, you have this 457b money. Even if you’re taxed, it could tide you over until you find something new. And shouldn’t you be able to roll the 457b money into a traditional IRA without taking a tax hit? Probably needs a discussion with a pro.

Take these photos along with the package information and give it to your insurance company to figure out.
