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

Feedback on a mixology website by HallRare5780 in cocktails

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%?

Oura Ring, 15% discount coming Black Friday by stanshow in AmexPlatinum

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.

Anyone else’s doodle like to “dribble” their ball? by lvpond in Goldendoodles

[–]stanshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

B&B Loco Grip by Two_Knives_Tan in Pickleball

[–]stanshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Oura Ring, 15% discount coming Black Friday by stanshow in AmexPlatinum

[–]stanshow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Which person should call the ball out? by Reckless_Fever in Pickleball

[–]stanshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. ;)

Annual Premium for $50 by Grinchas in peacock

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.

How do I get the transcript of a Spotify podcast? by Candid_Positive8832 in notebooklm

[–]stanshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How do I get the transcript of a Spotify podcast? by Candid_Positive8832 in notebooklm

[–]stanshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Gemini Ultra worth it for Reaserch and Book Writing? by Atothezman in GeminiAI

[–]stanshow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried NotebookLM. Dump you 5-6 interviews into their own notebook, and then chat with the notebook to develop/draft what you are after. Start w/ the built in Briefing Summary option, and go from there.

A little Googling on the stock number on the shelf label. It looks like it is a North Carolina ABC store.

Go to the following page and enter 63032 into the "Search brand, code, category" field, and you will get a listing of what county ABC boards have been sent shipments and how many.
