My cockatiels have learned that “Hey Google, broadcast it’s dinner time” means it’s time to fly to the table and ambush the food as it’s delivered.

Thank you for the response, but that’s the thing, I don’t want to scroll. Steps are a basic function and they should be available on the watch face.

Mine is five years old and I haven’t missed wearing it for a day. There are so many little features that I like (controlling my HomeKit home, finding my phone, playing my music with AirPods on a run, heart rate alerts, taking calls) and I’ll replace it when it’s gone, but I have a hard time recommending to anyone at that price point. I can’t get over that I need to buy a third party app to see my step count and it doesn’t even sync regularly.

I didn’t use mine for years until I got a wireless charger stand to use with my phone in landscape mode. I love it for my office desk. Combined with work focus, I only see a clock or large relevant notifications. I can answer work calls without messing with a cord. And when I leave at the end of the day, it’s charged. The old flat charger is still sitting in a drawer though.

I won one at an office Christmas party, took a time lapse of my chia pet, put it in a drawer for a year and felt guilty, then sold it to a ski instructor. It’s kind of like taking a video of fireworks or a concert. Unless you’re doing some wild extreme sports, who’s editing and rewatching that kind of video?

I hit a deer last year after twenty years of uneventful driving. It was on a highway known for drunk drivers so I was hyper aware and my reaction couldn’t have been any faster, but those animals are so insanely fast. I had to go to therapy for that shit.

Exactly. And don’t let embarrassment stop you from discussing this with your doctor, and don’t underplay your symptoms. I had years of symptoms before they got bad enough for me to be honest with my doctor, and once I was, he scheduled me for a colonoscopy immediately. There was a 1.5” tumour. I was in my 30s and cancer never crossed my mind.

The batteries prioritize keeping themselves warm. I’ve driven my Tesla down to -40. The range is decreased and phantom drain is increased, but it always starts at the end of the day, even when ICE cars all over my work parking lot don’t. I suppose it could be an issue for someone who isn’t mindful of the charge levels or who doesn’t have access to daily charging.

I’ve never had someone on a bicycle roll coal at me.

A man stopped my son with his hand from crossing at the signal because a car didn’t see him and could have mowed him down. I think a lot about how that could have gone badly if the man had second guessed himself for even a moment. Legally and socially, we need to be on the side of anyone who makes a split second decision to help in a crisis.

I’m a relative newbie (115 day streak) and honestly I’ve been underwhelmed by the owl. Based on his reputation I expected threats to kidnap everyone I love or beat me up and all I get are passive aggressive “it’d be a shame to lose your streak” and angry faces from the widget. I need way more adrenaline to motivate my low dopamine brain. Did he used to be less soft?

Like the time I had neck pain on one side and webMD convinced me I had some kind of cancer. Turned out the armrest on my ergonomic chair had dropped. Good times.
