Without moderation, all the trolls who got banned elsewhere will congregate, then everyone else leaves, then the trolls get bored cause there’s no one to troll and leave, too.
Can you buy another brand and do a quick test yourself? Then just return if it doesn’t. I imagine it’s just emitting some emf and any receiver can pick up signals. Depending on how sensitive stuff is, it might need to be tuned to certain frequencies.
There’s tons of dumbass stick posts on a community that was recently created for the purpose of sharing pictures of sticks. It’s essentially the new beans meme for all the kids to rally around.
Waiting for the engine to warm up a bit? Centering myself and dealing with distractions before I drive. Mapping out my egress routes and bailout locations after eliminating the parties specified in the verbal contract? All normal things you are supposed to do before you drive.
Like many, I stopped wearing watches when smartphones became a thing. Then I adopted the Apple Watch when that came out and wore one or another of them until this month. Something switched in my brain and I just decided that I hated that thing. Hated having to charge it. Hated the notifications. Hated feeling a need to close the rings. Hated the look of the thing. Hated that everyone seems to wear the same thing.
I started to learn about mechanical watches and bought an inexpensive but reportedly good quality one that looks nice to me. So far, I love it. There’s something viscerally satisfying about watching the movement through the display back, hearing the subtle sound, occasionally winding it, and contemplating that people can make such complex things that actually work.
I own a few nice wristwatches for special occasions, but my daily driver us a Fitbit. even though charging every 3-4 days is a bit annoying, I do like wrist access to notifications, step counts and activity tracking.
Neither; I don’t like the feeling of something on my wrist. I used to have a pocket watch, but finding a modern one is rather difficult, so I just use my phone.
Smart watch. I’ve been wearing one every day for the past 5-6 years. I like that I can check notifications at work, in a meeting, or any time it’s inconvenient to have my phone out. I also really enjoy having my fitness data tracked for trends over the years: calories burned, steps walked, heart rate, breathing, exercises, sleep, etc. It has really helped me become a more active person as I try to beat previous goals.
Apple Watch cellular, which I really like. I got a Speidel Twist-O-Flex watch band that’s even easier for daily use than the bands that come with them. I like having all the health and fitness data but it’s also just nice to not need my phone.
One example of not needing a phone I really like is having Apple Pay on it. If you’re out jogging or your phone dies or something, you can still use it to pay. It’s also nice at festivals and arenas and other places where you’re just trying to pay quickly. You don’t have to dig out your phone or wallet.
