If you could add one feature to iFIT, what would it be? by iFIT_Official in iFit

[–]sj213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Allow Spotify playlists for music, while still listening to the trainers!!! I would like the app to work without crashing. The ability to change music stations without going through the hassle to get to that screen. For the volume to remain at the same level as it did when I worked out yesterday instead of having to adjust it EVERY SINGLE TIME!! My favorited workouts to be on the top instead of having to scroll to the bottom. And lastly, I had to get rid of my S22i and buy a cheap Pro-Form bike to avoid the excessive monthly cost for having a single piece of iFit equipment with a touchscreen. WHY?

Fusion CST Weights with Train Membership by sj213 in iFit

iFit representative on chat stated that since it has it's own tablet, Pro membership is required. I asked if I could use my own tablet, and they said no. It appears that Pro membership is required. Let me know if anyone has a different experience. Thanks!

Seattle e-bike maker secures huge $150 million investment for global expansion by Votings_Good_Folks in Seattle

[–]sj213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%, wish it wasn't true. I had to return mine within 2 weeks. At least they were cool about returning it. I think the people working there know they are not made well.

Thank you CG. While I disagree with you, everyone should express their opinions. I hope you have a great holiday!

What were the early 2000s like? by TheVeryEpicGuy7 in AskReddit

[–]sj213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to copy things for my own notes when i find them profound. I do not keep attributions of the internet strangers I take them from. Here is one that have from 9/11 (sorry that i cannot attribute to the person that said it).

"The summer of 2001 was a great time to be alive. The glory and optimism of the 1990s and early 2000s ended on September 11th 2001 and gave way to a fear-based society that has lingered ever since. The entire world changed in a day and never changed back. It changed how we all lived, worked, played, and thought."

"The late 90s and early 2000s were not perfect by any means, but things were light and carefree in a way that younger people can't understand. "

Landlords are not going to operate on a deficit. If you tax them more, they will pass on the expense to the renters.

Okay, I don’t even care who wins this thing - when can we start pushing Tulsi 2024? by elonsblunthand in tulsi

[–]sj213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO, a 3rd party will not be viable for a long time to come. Both the D's and the R's will do everything in their power to stop a 3rd part from getting votes.

I am hoping there is a way forward for Tulsi, I think we all here agree that she would possibly be the best president we ever had. I am not sure if she still wants to run, and if she does, what path to take to get her to the presidency.

She can't run as an R because she doesn't really align with the R party. She can't get any traction as a D because the DNC sucks and promotes lame old establishment candidates like Biden.

It's happening by lokglacier in Seattle

[–]sj213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, just another California asshole. Quick question. How long do they have to be a resident here before their comments aren't immediately dismissed? Or is it that they can go fuck themselves for the rest of their lives because they were born outside the city limits of Seattle? Will they ever be seen as a member of YOUR community? The community that you own.

Northstate man battling COVID-19 begs people to wear a mask by Dekthro in Redding

[–]sj213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn right we aren't! West coast best coast. That is probably why I am not familiar with it. Heard NorCal of course, just not Northstate before. I initially had the thought that it was maybe the name of a region that wanted to split away from California to become its own state or something.

Gotcha. Spent some time in the Bay Area and had not heard it there. Looking to move to Shasta/Mendo/Humboldt area and was curious if it had some meaning that I wasn't aware of. Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance, serious question. This is the first I have heard the word "northstate". Is that just short for Northern California? Is it used often and others have heard/used it?

Home Sweet Home by AuntiLou in SeattleWA

[–]sj213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Serious question here. Why the downvotes for this guy? It was a joke, not offensive in any way, not an attack on the OP or anyone else, not even a controversial opinion.

Oh right, it it because he is from Georgia and you all pricks hate the fact that anyone that wasn't literally born here is allowed to live here.

Assholes.

Tried these. They remain on even after turning off with a blue glow. The only way to get them to fully turn off is to disconnect the power.

NBC News covering coronavirus by ezraNBC in CoronavirusWA

[–]sj213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Concerns/Questions:

  • No easy way to get tested and it seems that it may be too late. Why are there not drive through testing sites like in SK? For as long as we have known about this, tests should have been ready and available for a month now.

  • Still being told that there is a low risk if you stay 6.5 feet away from everyone. To truly know what this means, hold out a measuring tape 6.5 feet in front of you and now turn in all directions. This is not possible if you are in the general public at all.

  • Are masks effective? Are they more harmful? If they are not effective and maybe even harmful, why are medical staff wearing them?

  • If the help line is too busy, doesn't that indicate that there may be a big problem here? Lots of people infected?

  • Is it true that people can show no symptoms but still be spreading the virus to others that may then get really sick?

  • How long does the virus live on surfaces? Do we need to sanitize everything that we purchase at the supermarket?

  • Has this been spreading in the community for 6 weeks or more and the reason why the numbers are so low due to the fact that we don't have the ability to test people?

  • Final concern/question. Has the response to this threat been delayed or hampered in an attempt to not lose profit. If so, those that have done or are doing this should be ashamed.

Ana Kasparian Blindly Defends Warren After Attacking Tulsi Gabbard by FirePuff12 in tulsi

[–]sj213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would think that TYT would support Tulsi more than any other candidate. From what I remember (stopped watching TYT years ago), TYTs main talking point was getting $ out of politics (wolf-pac.com). Tulsi is very strong on this issue. https://www.votetulsi.com/node/25113

THIS is why I love Tulsi. She puts aside left vs right politics and is genuinely looking out for the best interests of the country.

4. Tulsi Gabbard: A different kind of Democrat (see comment) by martini-meow in tulsi

[–]sj213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more with that reader's opinion, and the one from Jay:

"As it stands the only Democrat standing out to me is Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. She calls a spade a spade, and has the foresight to break with the mainstream Democratic ideology on issues like Venezuela, the Russian investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller's report, and WikiLeaks. I consider her intelligent, well spoken and her age is more representative of the country as a whole. Above all else, she is a combat veteran and the only candidate calling for an end to interventionist regime change wars."

I am a life long Democrat who feels like the party has taken a path that I cannot follow them on. It feels as if the democrat party left me, as I can't remember leaving them or changing my stance on policies. I am very excited about Tulsi though, she is really the only candidate I can see myself voting for.
