If I wasn't tied to Garmin for the fitness aspect I would be all over this. I really miss my original Pebble.

The time notification reminds me of a screenless "watch" 10 years ago. It would buzz every 5 minutes as a supposed aid in perceiving the passage of time for various tasks. https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/

Pizza Hut apparently still runs the Book It program, where students earn a free personal pan pizza for meeting a reading goal[1]. There's a lot of nostalgia I have for 90's Pizza Hut in part because of that program. That and the P

Doesn't look like anything new. AFAIK erythritol is the best of the sugar alcohols and potentially the safest of the sugar substitutes. Another option that needs to be studied a bit more but seems safe so far is allulose, which is nice

Garmin Fenix/Forerunner/Instinct meets all of these, though at a significantly higher cost than the pebble. It's worth it for me because I'm into the fitness tracking but hard to justify otherwise.

It's not necessarily rewriting the constitution, and could take decades, but ensuring liberal judges get a majority on the supreme court is all it really takes in order to reverse the 5-4 D.C. v. Heller (2008) decision that first affir

Google does an okay job and certainly is the best option for searching Reddit that I'm aware of, but there are many cases where Google breaks (largely due to Reddit's site). It's common to get results that don't match an

Key management is definitely difficult and is full of tradeoffs depending on the risks you want to protect against. There are some nice guides out there that go into some of the details[1][2] as well as inheritance plans, and it typically i

Can definitely second kava. I went to a kava bar several times a few months ago and found it to be a great alcohol alternative. It also filled the niche of being a place where the atmosphere was more similar to a cafe so I could read a book

If tracking the vehicle to the destination is the goal it's fairly likely someone with an iPhone will pass by the vehicle at some point. Especially in an apartment complex or public shared parking.

Have you given kava a try? I reduced my alcohol consumption significantly to only rare occasions, and have recently found that kava serves as a nice substitute. The effects aren't as pronounced and you don't get the impaired judge

Showing two codes would definitely be a nice opt-in feature. Servers generally will compute codes within a sliding window to account for time sync discrepancies so there wouldn't be much harm. I could see how it may be confusing to som
