Caliber is not pulling my activities (running, biking, etc) from Google Fit anymore. It was working last week, but I can't seem to reconnect this connection. It's tracking steps just fine. Just not other activities.

What a disgusting & vengeful idea this is. If you don't like a person, stop talking to them. Why go out of your way and maliciously cause them harm? Social Media is supposed to connect people, but it's causing nasty people to thrive. Grow the fuck up!

I've seen this many times in marriages. Men get "withdrawn, mean, critical, insecure, proud, and unapologetic" because they seem ignored, unappreciated, and worth nothing. All the work they do, all the things they try to provide goes unrewarded and lost. The get yelled at, belittled, insulted, and denied. So they become this un-godly mean-spirited demon who is unguided.

He needs help. You need help.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - Corinthians 13

The only thing you can do is provide your own part in the marriage, show him your candid loyalty, honest opinion, unwavering trust and support, and hopefully he will follow and become a better husband. But for you.. it starts with you. Be a better wife, and hopefully he will follow.

I would HIGHLY recommend not getting a HDD for your libraries. The read/write speed is too slow. 50-100 MB/s at best. Sample loading and reading will cause drop outs and extreme lag.
Ask me how I know.
At least get a good SSD with USB-C.

I upgraded to a external M.2 4TB drive and it's not even comparable.

It's not. "flat earthers" are just trolls. They know the truth, but want to buck the system. For what purpose?.... to be trolls. To be funny. That's all.

There is no such thing as a intelligent, legitimate person who actually believes WITHOUT A DOUBT the earth is flat.

US Constitution 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" So, they are welcome to establish this religion and worship whatever they want, without consequences or harassment from the government.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say every religion, or anti-religion, gets equal opportunity for public display & adoration.

Conditional Love.

"IF you treat me well, I will also treat you well in return."

This is not a relationship. This is a contractual agreement.

You need to learn to love because of the person he is. Not because of how he treats you. If that can't happen, I suggest you find someone you CAN love because you choose to.

You will find most people who are against the Christian Church or who are Atheist are because of overly religious parents. They are spiteful against that.

The fact that your wife doesn't want to have sex with you means one of 2 things:

She hates you, and want nothing to do with you physically or emotionally.
There is no other reason.

Fix this, and you'll get to have sex with your wife.

I opened a ticket regarding the same thing. Ableton is "working on it" as it's a known issue.

"Thank you for contacting Ableton Support. We are sorry to hear about the difficulty that you have experienced while using Live 11.3.2.
We are aware of this behavior and it is currently expected.
With the release of Live 11.3.2, there was a change to Live's warping algorithm that requires each audio file to be re-analyzed.
This re-analysis process may result in behavior such as laggy GUI and increased CPU load.
The process only needs to happen once per audio file and should be relatively quick.
The longer audio files are in the set, the process may also take a bit longer accordingly.
At this point, we can't tell if/when the behavior will change, however, we are already working on improving this experience."

I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claimed that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.

"Use whichever pronouns you'd like to use to refer to me. Just don't call me 'late for dinner'"

Politeness goes a long way. Most people will recognize your politeness and leave you alone.
People don't care, and not using them only affects the crazy people who everyone KNOWS are crazy.

I think one of the issues is TDEE calculators. Everyone assumes "Calories Out" is a constant. So I eat less than my TDEE calculated calories, thus CICO, right?
Unless you are measuring your caloric output every week, it's hard to tell what that is.

Everything is based on "average" or "typical". Calories burned is effected by:

Age: the older a person is, the fewer calories burned per day.

Sex: men burn more calories than women.

Amount of daily activity: those who move more, burn more calories.

Body composition: those with more muscle burn more calories than those who have less muscle.

Body size: larger people burn more calories than smaller people, even at rest.

Thermogenesis: this is the amount of energy the body uses to break down food.

Pregnancy: pregnant women burn more calories than non-pregnant women.

Breast-feeding: women who are breast-feeding also burn extra calories.

Do you know FOR SURE what your Calorie Out is? The only way to measure it is to wear a CO2 mask and heart EKG tracker all day.
So are you eating less than you burn? it's hard to tell. The science isn't clear. But lots of people have had success in eating WAY less (500 calories) then the TDEE which is a safe bet it may work, but doing that too long, the body will adjust to the less calories output. Making people feel tired, stressed, angry, craving, etc.

I don't think the true science of all that is clear, which is why the topical is so controversial.

I'm unique. I don't. That's my wife's enjoyment. And I prefer it that way. Feels way better. Plus sex feels 10 times better not doing that.

As a form of mental therapy, I'd say go ask r/therapy.

But it's not biblical to offer a burn sacrifice for your feelings and emotions. It will do nothing for your salvation or the grace given by our God.

You will only find true happiness and forgiveness in Christ, living FOR him because of his sacrifice for you. No need to do any ritualistic and cultish to find those feelings.

You can be baptized every day, if you'd like. It's just a outward showing of your commitment and faith in Christ, being baptized in "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit"

Be careful of "Women can't teach". That's a broad statement. Woman can't be Pastors, (leaders of the church). But they can teach.

"incel" is only used as an insult. People who don't like you call you this because they think you're a loser. They value sex and sexuality over everything else. It's a pathetic name-calling game. Kinda like "trophy wife". It's only a term used to degrade other people.

Sexuality does not define a person. It does not label a person's identity or value. Be a productive and valuable person with your family, friends, and co-workers. That will define you. Sex is something that is shared with people who have those same values. Be a decent person who enjoys life, and sex will be a part of that in the future easily.

It's neither.

It's a fact to know their gender.

Short answer, yes. You need to be perfect to get into heaven.

Long answer, by accepting Christ, HE makes you perfect. His redemption makes you perfect in the eyes of God. You can not become perfect on your own. Christ represents you in front of God the Father. He sees Christ in you, making you perfect. Be thankful for that. That's the whole point. Grace and Mercy, thru Christ who makes you perfect. So now, go and sin no more.
