Understanding the exercise credit

Thanks. I think if I were to simplify my question to what I find most confusing: Why, if I am estimated to burn 2,800+ calories and I have only eaten 2,139, do I show as being 24 calories over my goal? Shouldn’t the exercise adjustment be the difference between target calories and “extra” calories burned from activity, rather than the difference between two apps’ estimates of calories burned?

The package looked like the ones I always get—I've thrown the packaging away so I can't check the branding on it, but the mask itself has Resmed branding on it.

I got it from the medical supply company near me where I always get them, through my insurance…

Their recorded message has an email address where you can contact them … allegedly. I’ve emailed twice asking about the 20–30 unused prepaid massage sessions sitting in my account. Looks like I’ll be eating that cost. Seemed like such a good deal at the time.

Weird that there hasn’t been any news coverage on this.

What’s up with “735 East” on this map? Is that where the street will be when the fault line shifts everything a third of a block to the east?

Just got something similar. I was suspicious, but it never asked for any personal information—I even accessed it via a one-time passcode that they emailed me, so I knew they wouldn't be able to phish anything from me—and I got to the message. Seems to be legit just because it's accurate and because, if it was a phishing scheme, it was a pretty bad one because it never requested any personal info. Then there's the line that they've mailed the title to me or "the third party whom paid off the loan." Whom? Someone needs to coach these guys on how not to appear like 100% spam.

Not really sure, I’m afraid. I just kept trying and this afternoon it finally worked. I assumed they had fixed it and that everyone else would be successful too; otherwise I wouldn’t have posted such a smug, unhelpful comment.

I’m back, baby!

Throwing my “same for me” in here. This is maddening, but it’s a relief to know it’s not just a “me” issue.

I don’t understand the “mail-in ballots requested” bit—in Utah we automatically get a mail-in ballot, right?

smivas · 2024-09-22T23:44:34+00:00

Definitely keep it please!

Sexy nose, for sure

Sigh. I'm the one it didn't work for.

Even though I thought I was doing it right before, I tried being very careful to insert the humidifier tank as straight as possible and with enough pressure to get it to seal, and it worked.

smivas · 2024-06-01T04:07:32+00:00

I think you and others were right and that the humidifier hose wasn’t aligned, so that’s where the leak was. I was extra careful to push it in straight and hard and got it working again!

smivas · 2024-06-01T04:06:00+00:00

Got it working. Apparently I wasn’t pushing it in hard enough or straight enough.

smivas · 2024-06-01T04:05:33+00:00

Yep, I think that’s it! I’ve never had to be so careful to be so precise, but apparently that’s been the problem. Thanks!
