I work in an office job and the introduction of an always on display completely solved this need fir me. AoDs have since become ha hard requirement for me, while my wrist can continue to proudly wear an old school analog watch.
Oh, and also, I hate the thought of tech giants even going as far as collection my bio data for whatever abuse they plan to do with it. Can’t collect a lot when my phone is on the table not even facing me.
Oh yeah, absolutely. (I knew I was making the words ‘good advice’ carry a lot of weight there, but it’s late here.)
For example, Bill’s got a health problem, but persists in consuming something that’s bad for that. Jill quietly/quickly reminds him of that now and then.
Oatmeal is my go to! Whenever I land in the hospital due to my Crohn’s issues, I end up having a lot of it. It’s thick enough to feel full from it, and while it doesn’t have the most of nutrients, its better than nothing.
It helps that if you add some flavoring of your choice to it, it doesn’t taste bad and thus makes it even better.
Ahaha, very relatable! Although personally I tend to keep mine relatively simple, I just add some cinnamon and sugar into mine (which is also what I do with Cream of Wheat for the few times that I have it).
Whenever you go to the hospital for GI related issues (or for surgeries in general I imagine), they always restrict you to not having anything to eat/drink, then they allow clear liquids, then they allow soft foods, and finally “full” (some hospitals will have a few other steps in between) and oatmeal falls into the “soft foods” category, but often times things like fruits won’t - but cinnamon and sugar has always been allowed for me so I’ve just gotten used to only having my oatmeal with those two things added in.
I do like to add a lot to my hot oats or overnight oats, but when I’m trying to cut calories I still find oats are good if and only if you add enough salt. Even plain oats and water is fine with salt. Without, it just tastes like feet.
I don’t quite get this meme, this is what cooking is. We add shit to everything to make it taste better. It’s like saying anyone defending chicken tells me it’s great once I add 17 things to it. Yea you can eat chicken plain but most of us now consider people that do so to be psychopaths when just salt and pepper makes it better, but there are still a ton of other ways to season or accent it with other ingredients.
Seasoning is not included in this I think. It’s only stuff like strawberries, banana and whatever people put in their oatmeal, idk, I don’t eat it. So actual other foods. I.e. a chicken breast by itself is a percectly fine food, a strawberry is as well.
But yeah I mean it’s meant to be a joke, like you say, things taste better/different together, or only taste good if mixed with something, and that’s perfectly fine.
Why would you wear either? Have not worn watches since cellphones became a thing in the late 90s and smart watches are just a solution looking for a problem…
The person says “I don’t know” fairly often. It shows that the person is not quick to draw conclusions, based on little to no information; this is gold, it means avoiding a lot of personal drama where they could blame you for things that they assume that you did.
They’re generally on the same page about common acquaintances as you.
That’s different. I’m talking about avoiding to rush towards certainty, not lack of opinion/preference.
That said, “I don’t know… it’s too late to buy groceries, but we got a frozen lasagna, there are some vegs in the fridge, and I could whip some fried chicken if you want. What do you want?” sounds perfect for me. So the issue here isn’t the “I don’t know”, it’s the lack of input.
[Dunno if you were speaking seriously or joking. If joking, sorry for the serious answer.]
Soylent came out about when I was having surgeries for Crohns and I used it at stages where I was healthy enough to bulk. I’ve been in remission for years but it’s still pretty hard to gain weight so I keep Soylents around to pack extra calories in. Use it as a coffee creamer too, surprisingly it froths really well. Also add it to oatmeal.
Also eating complete garbage food is better than nothing, I’ve made that tradeoff many times. Salt fat and sugar cater to what we naturally crave.
I heard many people that are going through different diseases were able to drink those soylent ready-to-drink drinks. They have all the nutrients you need in a creamy drink. I’ve tried Jimmy Joy and Huel and really liked them.
The laxer on it burnt a pin sized hole on my wrist that has scarred. This broke the straw for me, never again… Don’t trust them at all.
Other than the above. Taking it on and off daily to charge. Having to update it constantly. Having notifications constantly (easy solve). Having to touch it to wake. They just aren’t designed well.
I had a seiko watch that was nice, but I felt like wearing it daily would damage it.
If I were to get another one, it’d be either a durable mechanical watch, or a dress watch. Wish I’d kept the seiko over the bullshit smart watch replacement.
I’m with this guy. Agree 100% on all points. A friend gave me an automatic waterproof watch with super bright lume. I wear it everywhere. It’s great when you wake up in the middle of the night and need to know how many more hours you have to sleep.
Only waterproof automatic watches for me.
The only issue is that it gains time. But better be early than late!
About a minute every ten days. So reset the hands maybe every two weeks.
I wanted a smart watch for notifications etc but didn’t like any of them; too shiny and short battery life
Ended up buying a Fossil Hybrid watch; the screen is kinda like a Kindle, and it has physical hands too so is always visible. Battery lasts three weeks plus
Really good except for having to sync it with the app every couple of days
Milk and fat of any kind isn’t usually the best if you have trouble eating in general. Lots of apple sauce, chicken soup and crackers mentioned already, so I’ll just add the basic ass tostidos round nacho chips. Those give the salt you need, but don’t have much else, so they’re easy to digest. Anyway, whatever is fine, as long as you can keep it down.
