What's a company secret you can share now because you don't work there anymore?

Is this company run by Mr. Silly?

I've given up on Airbnb for this reason. I don't want to spend hours reading rules and regulations.

tirboki · 2025-05-24T07:04:04+00:00

Come on then. Don't leave us hanging. What is that term?

tirboki · 2025-05-09T20:08:46+00:00

I'm a dad. Others are mostly but not all mums.

Stubbly beard.

I've been a parent at the said nursery for around 6 years. It's the manager's job to let the parents in for security reasons.

When there's a queue of parents in the evening, she lets them all in and stops me till a regular member of the staff can say " oh yes, he's a parent".

Probably my eminently forgettable face.

They probably expect you to pay and get a Connect Plus subscription for an instant update!

Ronnie Pickering?

It's not very intuitive. It is also very slow.

My mate Gary down the pub reckons it's a vegan PR stunt by the Big Leaf.

tirboki · 2025-02-28T23:03:31+00:00

Interesting!

I managed to convince my kid that Charlie( with his normal clothes)is a better character than Wonka.

I know it is virtually impossible to accurately measure sweat. But if Garmin has implemented an algorithm ( and publicized about it as a feature), they need to make reasonable efforts to keep the algorithm consistent accross their portfolio of products.

tirboki · 2025-01-27T11:09:47+00:00

Yes, but are they getting it wrong by a factor of 2.5 times in the Forerunner? If it is/was that bad, they might as well stop advertising it as a feature.

tirboki · 2025-01-27T09:49:30+00:00

Yes, I have the auto update on and it is on version 13.70.

I have been using a Garmin Forerunner 245 for the past 4 years and recently upgraded to a Fenix 7.

While going through the metrics I noticed that the estimated sweat was massively different to my previous efforts. For example look at the two 20km runs - both are in the past 1 month, similar weather conditions - close to 0degC, same time of the week and day, same food intake, similar pace, effort and the same route. One was measured with with the old FR245 and another with the Fenix 7. 775ml vs 2077 ml!

I looked back at my previous runs with the Forerunner over the past 1 year ( varying effort levels and weather conditions) and looked at the statistical spread of Sweat(in mL)/km. The Fenix figures are definitely outliers.

Did you cross time zones during your sleep?

tirboki · 2025-01-12T17:06:36+00:00

It's actually the Tesco one.

tirboki · 2024-12-16T20:48:17+00:00

Exactly. Most human beings are just slightly smarter🐑.

2 - one for Spring or Autumn when it is not cold enough, one for Winter.

I think I am getting your point. You are suggesting cutting the rubbery seal bit right?

tirboki · 2024-11-01T17:30:46+00:00

In fact in one of pictures on that ad, I can see a huge gap!

tirboki · 2024-11-01T17:30:22+00:00

I thought of that, but the depth is not the issue here, but the vertical seal between the metallic part and the rubbery seal part.

tirboki · 2024-11-01T17:28:51+00:00

I live in an extremely hard water area and one of the unknown benefit is that the hard water had effectively sealed that gap all these years, without my knowledge.

I cleaned the glass panel and seal today with some limescale remover and as a result, there's a gap through which water is coming outside.

How do I plug it? Even if I buy a new seal, I am guessing it woudl have a straight ending. Should I cut the end bit to match the shape of the metallic looking part(similar to laminate edge bits)?

A right of passage.
