My cockatiels have learned that “Hey Google, broadcast it’s dinner time” means it’s time to fly to the table and ambush the food as it’s delivered.

Thank you for the response, but that’s the thing, I don’t want to scroll. Steps are a basic function and they should be available on the watch face.

Mine is five years old and I haven’t missed wearing it for a day. There are so many little features that I like (controlling my HomeKit home, finding my phone, playing my music with AirPods on a run, heart rate alerts, taking calls) and I’ll replace it when it’s gone, but I have a hard time recommending to anyone at that price point. I can’t get over that I need to buy a third party app to see my step count and it doesn’t even sync regularly.

I didn’t use mine for years until I got a wireless charger stand to use with my phone in landscape mode. I love it for my office desk. Combined with work focus, I only see a clock or large relevant notifications. I can answer work calls without messing with a cord. And when I leave at the end of the day, it’s charged. The old flat charger is still sitting in a drawer though.

I won one at an office Christmas party, took a time lapse of my chia pet, put it in a drawer for a year and felt guilty, then sold it to a ski instructor. It’s kind of like taking a video of fireworks or a concert. Unless you’re doing some wild extreme sports, who’s editing and rewatching that kind of video?

Last year this claim went around for the Loblaws No Name brand in Canada so I went shopping with my kitchen scale, preparing to be outraged. Everything was a solid 10% over the advertised weight.

You can sell the human to the black marketeers if you want to get that off your conscience.

Many people go straight to recommending potassium, but magnesium is key for helping muscle contractions. Fortunately bananas are also rich in magnesium as well as potassium, so they may be helpful for more than one reason.

I hit a deer last year after twenty years of uneventful driving. It was on a highway known for drunk drivers so I was hyper aware and my reaction couldn’t have been any faster, but those animals are so insanely fast. I had to go to therapy for that shit.

I don’t think those people would use the term “regressive,” because that term has inherent negative connotations. Their goal isn’t so much to “regress” as it is to “conserve” - maintain the values and power structures of the past. What a progressive would call progress, they would see as a decline. What they’re losing by ceding LGBTQ+ rights is more subtle than losing their own rights - they’re losing (or think they’re losing) status, privilege, moral authority. Their position in the social hierarchy drops if there are fewer people to look down on.

I redid my prompt with “Canadian” so all the pennies wouldn’t look American. The AI really shines through here, but I love it!
