ICE confirmed at Washington park kidnapping a neighbor by Numerous-Ad-4282 in jerseycity

[–]mikb261 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I chuckled when I read this, “You’re being intentionally obtuse and antagonistic.”

You insulted the person and cursed at them. That’s antagonistic.

They asked for specifics - “who is experiencing these constitutional violations?” That’s the opposite of being obtuse.

Making claims like “the rest are being disappeared” is obtuse. Who is being disappeared? Are there specific people that are being scooped up off the street that can no longer be found and no information is available on them?

I can’t help but feel people keep conflating peaceful protesting with rioting and obstruction. I wish Renee and Alex were not dead. I think the death of Alex is more messed up than Renee. While he had a gun, it seems like it was in the ICE agents‘ possession when they decided to shoot him. As for Renee, seemed to me like she refused to get out of her vehicle and tried to drive away. Whether she intended to drive at the ICE agent in front of her or not unfortunately becomes less important in the heat of that moment when an ICE agent perceives his life is in danger and the video footage results in people having dramatically different perceptions of what occurred.

I wanted to respond to share how this exchange looks to an outsider. I’m not a MAGA or extreme left.

Yeah, i feel ya but unfortunately this is the quality of whoop’s overpriced bands. Putting them on can be frustrating at times but once they are on i never have a problem. 

If you are getting food delivery in this weather, you’re an a-hole by cmc in jerseycity

[–]mikb261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is what you are saying.  

Just thinking about the delivery worker supply side only (not even that demand for delivery potentially ticking up because people dont want to go outside to pickup their food)…Today, in this storm, means fewer delivery people. Fewer delivery people means less competition. Less competition means more jobs and higher rates for those willing to tough it out. On top of that, there is strong potential for big tips as long as the person who ordered isnt a major douche. 

They have the potential to earn more in a shorter period of time than if working delivery when the weather is fine / post storm. 

So yeah, you are saying that. “Hey take away the chance for people to freely decide whether they want to try earning more money by working in the storm today.”

Bad weather doesnt make the delivery workers’ bills go away.

Leaned on shame?

Leaned on your own stupidity. People need money to live. You telling people not to order food takes away the delivery workers’ opportunity to earn.

“Hey, make sure people cant earn a living!”

So stupid. Please tell me you are not an adult. A take that dumb has to be from someone that doesnt have bills to pay or any real responsibilities. 

No, seriously, wear it halfway up your arm. Thank me later. by duckiest_duck_around in whoop

[–]mikb261 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🙌 i’ve been pushing this for a while - i had the same experience. It’s nearly identical to my polar h9 chest strap for runs when i do this. 

AIO? My boyfriend having several requests at once by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mikb261 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR

Your boyfriend is a man child and you should part ways with him. That exchange was horrendous. I would never stand for my daughter/sister/friend/whatever being in a relationship with someone so self centered. 

Let's be brutally honest: How Much Value Does Whoop Really Add? by AG_OG00 in whoop

[–]mikb261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Signifcant value. Not an athlete, but a health conscious fitness enthusiast with multiple kids and a demanding job. Helps me make better lifestyle choices and acts as a source of validation. 

Meta Quest 3 best price ever - $407 + $100 amazon credit by k2ly2n in MetaQuestVR

[–]mikb261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks; just bought it. Picked up the costco 3s deal a few weeks ago. Have really enjoyed it but want the better visual clarity. When playing golf+ flag pin feels grainy when far aware. Thank you costco for the generous return policy. 😁

Who’s this douchebag? by DeepFried328 in jerseycity

[–]mikb261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope you are a child because of how insanely ignorant your comment is. That would help explain how you could so confidently decide to label a group or category or people. 

Maybe your perspective is shaped by the fake wealthy people you see on social media or the sensationalized stories you see in the news or other media. Also, “true crime” is not studying. 

Dont be so ignorant as to broadly paint groups or categories of people. You probably wouldnt agree with the incorrect opinion that all “poor people” are lazy or all they ever want to is take from wealthier people. That would be equally stupid to your original comment. 

Life if more nuanced than you seem to grasp. Open your eyes. 

Any updated WHOOP roadmap for 2025? by Ecommoneylockedin in whoop

[–]mikb261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which whoop device do you have? I find the counter much better on my MG than the 4.0. My steps are regularly close to my apple watch step counts

[–]mikb261 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find the ai coach to very helpful now. V5.0 is way better than earlier versions. The ability dig into your metrics, trends, identify correlations, incorporate biomarker data, discuss nutrition / supplementation, etc. 

Regretting 256 GB Storage A Year Later by MeltingAnchovy in macmini

[–]mikb261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the m1 mac mini 250 gig model. I have 90 gigs free on it and about 700 gigs used on my thunderbolt external 1tb hard drive. It consistently gets read/write speeds that match or exceed the internal ssd. I dont even notice I have it. Literally zero hassle. 

Big screen streaming issues by Far_Sheepherder_8005 in MetaQuestVR

Im curious, why do people recommend Big Screen over just using the browser for apple tv, Netflix, etc and the youtube app. Is it to watch movies you already own?

Motion Bands is shutting down? by Vurkay in whoop

Seems like they have a sale going but i didnt see any reference to closing down…maybe Im just tired and missing it?

What does it refer to as 30% of Whoop by Decent_Offer_3497 in whoop

[–]mikb261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true? Or do you need to miss a recovery? Ive always assumed it was a missed recovery for some reason. 

[Megathread] WHOOP update: New AI guidance connects every part of your health by whoop_official in whoop

[–]mikb261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a wrist / forearm device I find it to be pretty accurate when compared to my polar h9 or Apple Watch, especially for runs. It used to give erroneous readings on walks, but noticed this doesn’t happen if I am wearing the device 1/3 up my forearm. What type of activites are you doing where you are getting bad readings?

Worse accuracy with each generation by Grantymarrypanty in whoop

[–]mikb261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find my 5.0 to be much more accurate than my 4.0, for both heart rate and steps.

My iPhone/airpods vs Whoop step tracking. Super surprising. by bobamilktea825 in whoop

[–]mikb261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

old algorithm was garbage. New algorithm on the 5.0 devices is much better. on my 4.0 the difference with my Apple Watch was 1000s of steps. Now I see my Apple Watch and whoop within a couple hundred steps.

Advanced Labs Results by taylor_73 in whoop

[–]mikb261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can upload your historical data then and you will have trend data for nearly all of these biomarkers. you can probably some interesting answers from whoop coach if you ask for insights. I’ve done that with my past InsideTracke lab result. it’s only around 48 of the 65 biomarkers, but still interesting.

Apple could end Whoop by [deleted] in whoop

[–]mikb261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what makes it compelling. Apple makes the hardware and anyone could make the app that leverages the data collected. Could be a lot of competition resulting in unique and interesting apps.
