dmtalon, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I wear a Garmin fitness/ multi sport watch. It has some smart features (shows notifications) but is not touch screen. I run/work out and use the watch to track that.

I over a week on battery wearing it t 24/7 and running around 20 miles a week.

I’ve worn both, but I’m just looking for watches that can do 24H time. Smart watches are nice for setting alarms and cooking timers. Regular watchss don’t need to be charged and are much more durable and usually less expensive. I’ll probably continue to switch back and fourth.

Smartwatches don’t really get updated for more than a few years anyways, which is a bummer.

NAXLAB, (edited ) in What are some promising solutions to solar power's lack of night time availability? Is "transoceanic power transportation" on the list?

Obviously you would need plenty of extra solar power for this but Hydroelectric dams are giant batteries when run in reverse. Charge them up with extra solar power and then use the energy at night

quantumantics, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

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.

How about making sure I don’t hit anything on my way out?

Kolanaki, in Do you have a favorite restaurant only available in your area?

Tokyo Express.

Despite the name, it’s a Chinese restaurant. $6 will buy a meal that’s 3 whole pounds of food. The styrofoam containers are usually stuffed so full, they barely close.

HessiaNerd,

I used to be near a place like that in college. I could eat 2 or 3 meals from them. And it was good. They did Chinese food and donuts. Stoners paradise.

As for Chinese restaurants, Golden Rice near my home owns my soul. Crispy Honey Chicken, their Crab Rangoons, ugh, so good

vivavideri, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Leaning in, starting the car, hitting the garage door button, putting stuff in, grabbing ice scraper, begrudgingly pondering why I had to get another car that’s currently in the garage, parked where if my running one was it would not need scraping.

My mother will sit in the car and watch at least three tiktoks before starting the car and before getting out .

Assman, in What's your favorite compilation album?
@Assman@sh.itjust.works avatar

O Brother Where Art Thou? has a fantastic soundtrack. The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks are also quite good.

Starting Spotify and syncing it with Android Auto

Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)

Annoyed_Crabby,

Some people claimed that one of those stop-leak/stop-slip transmission treatment will help, maybe you should give it a try.

The Crow soundtrack has some great ones.
