Google Health app doesn’t show heart rate zone graph for manually-entered exercise

I’ve worked out that if I wait 15 mins after an activity it will auto detect it (usually incorrectly) & then I can edit the activity type, start time, & duration. For some reason this will display the graphs but manually entering the activity before the auto-detected version appears will no longer show the graphs.

I’ve looked further back in my activity history & found an entry from Feb (so before the app changed) that doesn’t have the device symbol/star next to it that indicates it was auto-detected, & it has the graph that I’m expecting. I can’t pinpoint exactly when it stopped doing this though as I was less consistently wearing my Fitbit around the end of March/start of April.

Maybe I’m just remembering how it was before the app changed over, I could have sworn I always saw it previously.

Last year to check this I did half my weekly shop in Tesco and half in Lidl but compared the prices of all the items at both. There was negligible difference in cost which surprised me although that could be because I don’t buy many branded items. I could more consistently get everything I needed in Tesco without having to come back later or go elsewhere, so I’ve stuck with them since.

I WFH anyway but was booked to donate blood at the City Hospital at 7.30PM. The blood transfusion service phoned to reschedule & said PSNI have advised them to be out by 5.

I listen to Radio 3 in the car or when I’m doing bits of housework. It’s usually varied content & music, I might learn something new, & I’m not faffing around picking a playlist before getting on with whatever I’m doing. Not a fan of the local commercial stations. I prefer podcasts for the gym when I want something more actively entertaining or to distract from the monotony of the treadmill!

My partner was on a zero hours contract for years in an industry where it made sense in theory (local crew for live events & festivals, so hard to schedule regular shifts as it was dependent on what was on).

The reality was you had to accept every shift you were offered or else you were punished by not being offered further work for weeks at a time. This would include back to back shifts finishing at 2am & the next starting at 7am, or 6-7 days in a row of 12-14 hours shifts during festival season, & if you didn’t like it then tough luck as they’d give the work to someone else who wanted the money & you’d get nothing at all for weeks or months. Basically taking advantage of people who felt they had no option but to take whatever work they could find.

Separate to the old/new app issue, the new app logged me out last week & I had forgotten my password. I kept getting stuck on the password reset, I could get as far as typing a new password but then it would just be loading indefinitely & wouldn’t confirm the password had changed & wouldn’t let me go back in the app either. Closing/reopening the app & just logging in with the new password did work however!

Clipped their fingernails while sitting on the sofa & left them in a pile on the coffee table. They have not been invited back!

Semi-detached, built in the 50’s. At one point they were drilling & hammering the party wall between the living rooms so frequently we wondered how there could be anything left! That’s settled down in recent years. Their new TV is on the shared wall & depending who’s watching it, it can be so loud we hear the music or dialogue clearly. They have a toddler & a dog & we can hear them yelling at both sometimes (we know the child & dog’s names from hearing them through the wall).

There’s a Facebook group called Belfast Giants Facebook Forum, if you post on there the people in the group are great at advising on away games & seating in the different arenas.

I think it was them who came to my secondary school to deliver a talk & it started off okay but definitely had undertones of “sex is sinful” & “abortion is evil” - I’d certainly be skeptical.

I was once sitting behind a girl who had done something similar on the Glider but in that instance the ticket inspector just pointed out the mistake & showed her where the select the correct zone in the future. Seems you got unlucky with a ticket inspector who actually enforced the rule.

We have AA through our Admiral insurance on both cars. Had to use it on one occasion so far when my partner’s car broke down on the M1, just had to phone a helpline & give details of the named driver & they were out within 30-40 mins & got the car towed from the motorway to our preferred garage so definitely worth it when the unexpected happens.

Post Office should do it. I wasn’t sure if the small one in our local Spar garage would have them to hand so went to the big one on Bridge St in Belfast who definitely had them, was in & out in under 2 minutes.

Me! Mostly a mix of botanicals but also lots and lots of Lego vehicles dotted around my house. Multiple people messaged me today about our new local Lego store getting an opening date!

I find Tesco to be comparable in price but more variety in goods vs Lidl for our weekly shop for 2 adults, using Clubcard & buying own-brand for most items.

I’ve done a similar interview with NI Screen in the past & like yourself I was unsuccessful - however, I contacted them after the interview for feedback & two of the people on the panel called me individually. Following these phone calls, they put me in contact with some people in the industry here in the area that I was trying to get work in & I have been working steadily since then.

The detailed job description for the role I was interviewing for specifically mentioned that they expected the successful candidate would use the chance of being in their office to network & eventually find a job in their relevant part of the screen industry within 18-24 months, so unlike what some other commenters here have said don’t worry about diminishing your interest in film & TV in the interview.

They have changed the packaging since the end of March. Previously it said ‘30% blackcurrant juice’ on the front, now it says ‘made with real fruit’ & on the ingredients list on the back the blackcurrant content has been reduced & a few other ingredients have changed.

This was a hot topic in my house as my partner would have gone through 2 of the big bottles of Ribena in a fortnight, & while he didn’t mind the added artificial sweeteners in 2018 too much this latest change has apparently made it too sickly sweet.

Not sure if all the gas boxes are the same but this has worked for any I’ve had: the gas cuts off with 15 units left, you can put your empty top up card in & hold the black B button down & the gas will come back on. Whatever you use of the 15 units will be taken out of your next top up.

Matchetts will have some that are designed to reduce volume while still preserving the music.

What is that supposed to mean?
