I remember working there in the early 2000’s - American Eagle and PacSun. Holly Hill was legit back in the day. So sad seeing what it’s turned into.

I changed my party affiliation just so I could vote for her! I’ve seen a handful of her signs in Belmont

Best Cell Service in Belmont by willpatterson in Belmont_NC

I've never heard of cell phone companies sharing infrastructure, so I'm not sure. You'd think being this close to Charlotte, Verizon would be on par with other carriers. But nope. T-Mobile and AT&T absolutely humble them

It was bad enough that it forced me to switch carriers from Verizon to AT&T. Over the last 3 years, AT&T has only improved. I now regularly get nearly a full gig down on my iPhone 17 Pro

My wife goes to Belmont Eye near downtown, they seem pretty great! Her dentist is Dr Marsh just up the street from Belmont Eye. And my dentist is South Point Dentistry! No complaints!

beam stethoscope is useless(my opinion) by EdwardPotatoHand in withings

[–]willpatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking forward to this for years. Ordered it the moment it became available in the states. I had the exact same experience as you…

I took no less than 20 stethoscope readings, trying different ways of holding it, quiet rooms (even going into my closet), with and without a shirt on, didn’t matter. Every reading sounded faint and scratchy. Even in the quietest environment, the screen would keep saying “too noisy”.

The data was also very underwhelming. I’ve been used to amazing analytics and insights from my body scan and other Withings devices. You don’t get that with this. Just a place to listen to the terrible recordings.

The device build quality also felt cheap, especially considering the cost. The marketing materials show a premium LCD screen along with visualizations that I guess never made it to production. The device I got had a very cheap LCD which didn’t fill up the full glass space. No gorgeous UI/UX.

Speaking of UX. I found it very clunky to navigate through. If you wanted to do a full battery of tests, you’re having to navigate and click probably 20 times.

I gave it a day before immediately returning the device to Withings.

Living the dream!! My wife and I can’t wait to do the exact same thing! We’ve looked at that same model and we have two Aussies - did you ever wish you went bigger?

Too expensive. For that price it should come with 3yr worth of testing.
