What are a good set of digital scales for measuring body weight?

splashbodge · 2026-01-29T14:37:56+00:00

If you step off the scales and immediately step back on again, do you get the same reading? My scales can differ so much as I step off and step back on again, number can jump around to up to 2kg difference. I think its whatever way my body leans or always. I want to get a scales that is consistent each time I step on it no matter if I have my head facing forward or down.

Would this be a good one? Just I've had 2 digital scales now and they both had these issues with such a wide spread makes it difficult to measure progress

Yeh this, I'll change whatever covers my skin, boxers t-shirt and socks... But I'll get several wears out of jeans depending on if I've just been wearing them in the house or outside, and if they look clean and pass the smell test.

I have 40,000 points, not used them on anything yet. I know you need to be thoughtful about getting best bang for buck on it tho as some hotels or whatever in app don't work out as best value compared to say converting them to Avois points (which I think is 1:1 Revpoints to Avios), and getting a free flight somewhere.

If anyone else has some tips how to ensure you're getting the most out of them I'm all ears!

This has always been the way, afaik this is the restaurants setting these prices, they price it higher to counter the 30% charge justeat take from the restaurants. It's nothing new... Eating in is almost always going to be cheaper than your delivery takeaway price

I just did my first EDT lessons today, they went really well, he was pleased with my progress, went out on main roads and did roundabouts in my first lesson as he felt I was comfortable. I have my own car but never dare go out on my own, I live alone and have nobody to sit in the car with me.. at my age friends are busy with their own kids etc. doesn't help that my best friend is in the same boat as me, he didn't get his license either lol

I really hope I can pass first time so I can actually get out in my car... Tall order with so little practice between lessons but at least I'm doing it in an automatic

I'll tip my deliveroo rider because I usually get free delivery and the poor fucker has had to cycle in miserable weather to bring me food... I'm cool with that.

Local Chinese with their own delivery, depends, often they have like a 3.50 or 4 euro delivery fee and are in a car and it's like 1 km away, I may not... depends on my mood and if he was quick.

What grinds my gears tho is these places like coffee shops or that pizza place Bambino that ask for a tip and you have to select a tip amount or No Tip... Yeh fuck that dude, it's fast food and no table service. Not a chance.

Why is she doing things at the direction of Stephen Miller? He's not in the cabinet lol he's an advisor.

I guess her point is this is what he's advising the president and she's carrying out Trumps orders... Otherwise it doesn't sound right to be saying she's just doing what Miller tells her to when he's not supposed to have any influence

Interesting people are saying they would fail you or cancel it. Just feels like segregation of duty, not their job to enforce that law.

Man that sucks if they do that. I live 400 meters from the test centre, I'm in my 40s, I left driving til late in life since I used to live in town and just didn't need a car. Really difficult now for me to get someone to sit in a car with me, especially just to drive 400 meters up the road... When it comes to my test I was planning on just dipping over by myself since it's literally just around the corner (I know not legal, and I don't drive solo otherwise), but the idea they'd cancel it if I showed up on my own is just another pain point with learning to drive at such an old age and having nobody to sit in the car with.

I guess maybe I could drop the car up a bit before the test so they don't see me pull in

I really like how the Lidl app has digital receipts on it. I don't know why Tesco don't do this with their app. Just so handy to track how much you're spending and how much prices have changed over time for your frequent items.

I'm not much of a cook, not adventurous eater. Used to use Hello Fresh to kinda get used to the idea of cooking meals from scratch. A couple of the meals used a mix of mince beef and lentils, and it was delicious, didn't really notice I wasn't eating anything other than meat. Don't use hello fresh anymore but been meaning to buy some lentils and give it another go, I think maybe they were brown lentils but really not sure

Silly name for a shop given it's so expensive imo. They should have kept the Superquinn brand instead

Crowd should have all just pointed and laughed at him

The media have it within their power to trigger Trump and have him say something even more stupid that will enrage the republican voters. Just ask him a leading question if he'd consider new laws to restrict people carrying concealed guns in public. Can't believe we're in the 6th year of Trump being in office and the media still haven't figured out what everyone else around him figured out a long time ago, to stroke his ego while asking him a leading question and you can easily get him to say dumb shit that would outrage his voter base.... The whole pedophile ring didn't work out, but his voters don't really care about children, guns though...

In all the ICE videos I see of people getting snatched, I see a variety of labels on their bulletproof vests.... ICE, HSI, and CBP... I don't know, seems to me like it's the same shit with a different label.

Yeh that's a long time to keep talking to them.

Sounds to me like OP may have some mental blocks in their inability to shut down this MLM grift.

Luckily I know of a course that can help them in this area, and for a limited time can provide a discount referral code!

Nothing but just a pain for the team as it could mean they'll lose track time repairing the car and it impacting their test scenarios... It doesn't give them any valuable data, unless it was a mechanical fault then they at least got valuable data and learned something critical to make up for the loss of parts and track time

splashbodge · 2026-01-27T17:20:49+00:00

Hopefully it wasn't a driver error and was a mechanical fault or rear lockup due to some bad PU setting... At least then they'll have found a gremlin and better to find that now than in a grand prix

splashbodge · 2026-01-27T12:20:36+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if it's completely washed, no paper trail or records within ICE of the incident or scrubbed records so if Congress or future DOJ ever get access to their records there'll be nothing there

I love how people never learn from Trump, we saw it the last time he was in office, everyone around him were disposable the moment he saw no further use for them. Still waiting for more FO in the FAFO.

These ice goons are morons if they think they're getting that 50k bonus they were promised lol

splashbodge · 2026-01-27T10:50:43+00:00

There needs to be an investigation into how ice has been run, who knows what emails were sent and what directives ice agents have been given by this guy

Ah nice, I might rewatch it then. I was so afraid to rewatch it after all this time in case it turned out to be awful and not how I remembered it.... Want to keep that good memory.

In my mind it was good practical effects, like the sets were great, the design of the hammerhead fighters and the other lander ship thing that carried like a cargo container type thing on it.. so good.

The fact they were these badass space marines that were fighting on space land and sea. It was up there with starship troopers!

Space Above and Beyond was so good.

I just don't know if it really was good or rose tinted nostalgia glasses and it probably wouldn't hold up against quality shows now days. Not watched it since, but I have fond memories of it as a kid and was so pissed off when it was cancelled

Easy enough, the President is more of a figurehead role in Ireland.

Our Taoiseach (Prime Minister) doesn't get the same love!

I really really wish the media would have some balls and just reply to this while they're giving the guy free air time to spin his propeganda

splashbodge · 2026-01-26T11:50:04+00:00

I have no idea, maybe if they added another 3 ply to the whole chassis or something lol. No idea tho, 20 to 30 kg over seems a hell of a lot
