I used to have a bip and loved it. The big thing was battery life and always on screen. It used a reflective LCD screen to do it. No newer amazefits use them. I’ve since moved to using COROS watches. Not as cheap but really good. Always

Yes, this multiplies the complexity. When you talk to ATC you always need your tail number and airplane model. Why? Because a landing Cessna 150 is moving at 70mph. An incoming jet is moving at 130mph. And the jet can’t just slow down

We just got Apple Watches for our 11 and 13 year olds. It is a decent middle ground, as up to now we’ve been very limiting of their screen time. Our district has strict blocks in place at school, but most kids still already have phones. W

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but half of the US thinks WE should have an authoritarian government. We may soon be in a post-democracy world.

PBS is still $5/mo and has some reasonable stuff. Apps for most platforms. Also nice to support the local college that runs the station.

I’m in the same boat, except instead of driving, I decided to get my private pilots license. being able to hop in a plane whenever you want and not worry about traffic or tsa. I always thought it was super expensive and never knew what goo

I’ve had a good experience with email octopus. Converted a client from spreadsheets and big Bcc lists with little problem. I’m not sure how big or how many lists you have. Https://emailoctopus.com

I like the “land doesn’t disappear” quote. Here in the Great Lakes region the lakes have been up and there are absolutely people paying taxes on land that’s underwater. So sure, it may not disappear, but there are any number of ways for i

I host some domains with migadu and have been pleased. For my newer, less used domains anyway. I also bought a lifetime account in mxroute. It’s also fine, but wonky, as they’ve repurposed other tools to admin it. However, some of my user

Woohoo! Me too! Now the kids are 8 and 10 and I’m looking to get back into the workforce. It’s amazing how few people respect the work involved being a full time parent.

I’m working on my private pilot license. Recently learned the most common AV fuel in the US is 100LL. 100 octane Low lead. That’s right, it has lead! Commercial jet fuel doesn’t, but all those small planes you see running around (and tha

Don’t forget the placebo effect works both ways. All the antivax people that got the vaccine even though they may not have wanted to, are going attribute everything weird that then happens to the vaccine. This is all going to take years to

Self hosted bitwarden (well, vault warden) is pretty good. With a lot of passwords (600) the browser extension is a little slow, but not bad. I left 1password once they moved to cloud and subscriptions and haven’t missed it. Plus, set hos

You can actually use cloudflare workers to mitigate this. You use a worker to act as a proxy so that most blockers won't block the tracker. More details: https://blog.garble.org/using-cloudflare-to-increase-analyti...

I think one thing the aristocracy got right was that your children are a reflection of you as a parent. That seems to have been lost nowadays in the US. Nowadays, a problem kid is due to video games, school, peers, you name it. No, it&#x
