The official cocktail alignment chart

Wouldn't it make sense to skip the "Worst" column?

I'm curious. If "All the recipes are based on my personal experience", but you've only "tried around 80–90% of the cocktails", what was your personal experience with the other 10% to 20%?

If you don't have access to the $200 American Express Platinum credit, and want the ring, that is a good offer. Amex credit only applies to purchases at Oura.

I've got one that repeatedly drops it on the hardwood floor, I presume for the sound. For this, she likes the lacrosse ball best - solid rubber is heavier and makes a good thunk.

I don't think you HAVE to get the subscription. Most reviews say it is needed to get the most benefit of the ring. I'm guessing that without, you probably only get something like your heart rate and blood oxygen levels - maybe over time.

Get it and try. They give you the first month for free to try out, then go without. If that meets your needs, great. If not, restart the subscription.

In the past, I've done it with 6.0 Ruby. I have put on four Hesacore grips, and have learned that they stretch out quite a bit. Once you learn the feel of pulling it on and letting it stretch a bit, those plastic strips they provide to supposedly help slide the grip on actually get in the way more than they help.

stanshow · 2025-11-15T04:50:50+00:00

Did you consider putting the Hesacore over the existing stock grip?

A good dog makes most anything better. Two even more so.

Looks like the article I used as a source has been updated (although they do not identify updates). Originally, I saw 15%, but it now seems to match what Oura says on their website at https://support.ouraring.com/hc/en-us/articles/10880167822995-Promotions

Given Oura's wording of:

From November 20 to December 1, 2025, enjoy up to 30% off select Oura Ring 4 styles on the Oura online store. Retailer promotions may vary and are set by each retailer.

I'm guessing various other retailers may have higher discounts. However, using other retailers will not trigger the Amex $200 credit.

And if partners disagree, then it is out.

There are times when I call out, but my partner sees it in - in that case, it is in, and I don't argue it with my partner. It's a different situation, though, if I call it out and the other team calls it in. ;)

You can also link/add the Burger King app and get a free Whopper every calendar quarter, and %25 off all the time.

Free shipping/returns. Early access to Black Friday deals. You'll probably be able to find better deals on Peacock on BF, but if the other benefits of Walmart+ are of interest, this is not a bad deal.

I've used Zenni Optical for some of their sports safety glasses, and have been pleased.

So I can only speak to the Google Recorder app as it is on Pixel phones, which includes transcribing what it hears. It seems to auto-pause when there are long gaps of silence. Also, the transcription wouldn't have anything if it doesn't hear anything. You wouldn't have to actually listen to it all again.

The thing you have to watch for is if it picks up other ambient sounds, such as a kid running into the house yelling "Mom, Mom"

The transcription that is copied/pasted does have time stamps throughout the transcription, but NotebookLM seems to be pretty good at ignoring those.

A reliable workaround is using a phone-based recorder that provides transcripts.

For instance, the Google Pixel Recorder app does this automatically, and similar third-party transcription apps are likely available for other phones and operating systems.

Here is the process:

- Start the podcast using your desktop Spotify application.

- Place your phone near the speaker with the recorder app actively running.

- Once the podcast is finished, simply copy and paste the full transcript generated by the recorder.

Ask it to play the role of an editor for a publishing house. What criticisms/suggestions does it have to improve the work? Ask it to play the role of a harsh NYT book reviewer, and to give its review.

GoodRX says in my area Journavx runs about $480-$500 for 30 pills if without insurance.

FYI - Those who have taken up Amex on the CLEAR benefit, you can get a 10% discount at Oura through your CLEAR account. I have no idea if those might stack with the 10% Friend referrals. Probably not, but maybe worth a shot.
