I did notice that the Mexican coke that I occasionally buy as a treat (in the US) got new labels printed on the bottle instead of just a sticker.

For some reason it doesn’t taste as good as it used to though. Feels like even more sugar than previously maybe? I should look it up.

Thank you, I have a new goal in life.

Garmin is where I landed too.

I couldn’t do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.

I’m over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I’m working outside.

At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.

(Again, I don’t use any of the “smart” stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)

A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?

I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

I remember looking for a new watch awhile back and seeing a review that said “The battery life is outstanding! I get almost two whole days without a charge!” and thinking “naw dude”.

But, I also don’t like “smart” watches… or “smart” anything. I want a damn watch that can occasionally do GPS tracking when I want it to and the battery should last, at minimum, one month.

I already carried a flashlight in my pocket and now I have one on my watch. Phones are obsolete.

This may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.

But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.

This was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)

Same place for me I’m betting, but three weeks on a longer “choose your own adventure” route. We chose to hike most of every day and cover as much ground as possible instead of stopping at the more “comfortable” areas that had facilities.

I forget the exact distance but pretty sure it was over 225 miles.

I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.

25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.

That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.

At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.

… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”

I appreciates that about you.

I don’t know if I’ve actually seen one of your posts, but thank you nonetheless.

The cycle continues

I’m old but the shortest my hair has been in the past 35 or 40 years is shoulder length. Every other spring I have the spouse chop it off to shoulder length then let it go again for two years.

I’m also in Arkansas.

But, not a kid so I guess it’s okay for me to be my filthy hippie / sasquatch self according to this proposal.

Yeah… I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop rico-w : P

1901-01-01? Me too!

Good to meet you birthday buddy

Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”

… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

I don’t have kids, so yeah.

Edit: now that I scroll through the comments, I see this is a common theme.

The last one is now a governor.

… So apparently it pays to vomit lies that align with whatever he says. Seems the people love it.
