I have a withings and I really like it. Their privacy policy made me feel better about allowing my info on the cloud. You can run it offline (it sends weight via Bluetooth to the app but won’t show 7-day trend an scale screen without wifi). I don’t mind that, so I leave it disconnected. I don’t use a home assistant though so I can’t speak to that part.

I have the withings watch also, so I use the app as my catch all health tracker which works well. it’s nice to have everything together. Can’t speak to any others but I’d recommend withings.

Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

Same. It’s nice to have a way to quickly look through a bunch of options (even if 95% of them are shitty Chinese counterfeits). I’ll even look through the reviews and see if anything glaring jumps out. But I haven’t been a prime member since they put ads in prime video and haven’t really missed it.

Got it right after launch. It is fantastic. Puzzles are fun, characters and plot are entertaining, and it’s just frickin adorable. It’s really short- I’m hoping because the dev team is releasing additional cases later, but right now you just solve one case. I finished it in an evening taking it slowly. I don’t regret paying full price, but I definitely want more. Would recommend for sure.

The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There’s a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.

Love the mid-century modern style. So freaking cool

Oolong, steeped in my tea mug that has a lid on it. Usually with some local honey. Mmmm

This hits hard for me. The survey is the first thing I’ve heard from them. I keep a tracker of places I’ve applied to and when, and note when I get rejected or called for any interview. I still have applications open from a year ago.

Yesterday I got an “application experience” survey from a company I applied to last October. When they asked me “is there anything else you’d like to share” I told them that they need to get a little more disciplined about following up with candidates.

So frustrating.

I had the 7-up game on Sega Genesis even before this was a thing. I’m a little surprised that those kinds of games didn’t become more popular since companies are cramming adverts into every possible medium now.

Okay I’m not very technical but I hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being and want desperately to break from them but can’t bring myself to switch my regular and gaming PCs to Linux. It just feels like too much work like I’d be starting over and most of all I just fear change. Is there a good YT series/channel or blog or something I can check out that might make things a little less intimidating?
