I think the article’s closing is interesting and debatable. Giving credit to the Apple Watch for maintaining people’s interest in a wrist watch… everyone I know that wears an Apple Watch only wears the Apple Watch. But I guess I could give the benefit of the doubt that maybe they wear nicer watches on fancy occasions.

1. Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.

2. Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.

3. Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.

Definitely, we use the Imperial system after all.

Honestly, the lack of activity here has quelled my watch lust. But every once in a while I come across a watch ad and read more on it.

What did you enjoy about r/watches?

For me, I liked sharing in the excitement of new and seasoned collectors–but especially the newbies. Occasionally there were cool back stories, and even people getting their small collection stolen and the community pitching in a variety of watches to get them started again. Although sometimes obnoxious, the circle jerk was amusing to have around.

Maybe I’ll figuratively get off my butt and post my 3 watch collection.

This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I came across a tennis-themes Timex Snoopy. I was seriously looking into it, but the Marlin base was crap quality according to reviews. So sad.

I’m putting myself in your shoes, like do I need it? No. But it’s neat! Bonus points to Seiko for the watch box looking like a Poke ball. Really cool purchase.

I get to lay in a bed by myself, all of my life. It’s fantastic!

I was in Vegas last month. Uber/Lyft drivers are fed up too. One driver told me that he used to meet his goals by 11am. Because of F1 construction traffic, now he’s driving an extra 10-15 hours per day to meet those same goals. He’s gonna be out of town this F1 month, visiting a friend in another state to consider moving there.

Life is becoming worse for the residents, while the casinos get richer.

8th grade. A girl tells me in the presence of classmates, “I love youuuu.” I just think it’s a joke/prank so I reply, “I’m too young!” Later she privately asks me if I meant that. It didn’t click for me until high school.

Fresh out of an all-boys high school, so no interaction with girls since 8th grade. Freshman year college, fall semester. Classmate says she’s cold and hooks her arm in mine on the walk to lecture. This happens every day. Another classmate asks if we’re dating, and I say no, she’s just cold.

Same semester, same class, in a lab section, it’s warm. I ask my lab partner (different from arm girl) doesn’t she feel hot, why not take off her sweater. She looks at my and says, “I’m not wearing anything underneath.” Next day in lecture she’s dresssd up really nice and sits next to me.

Every day in this lecture these 3 girls sit with me. My high school buddy who’s also in the class tells me, while we’re studying, he thinks it’s hilarious that I’m surrounded by girls. I shrug it off.

I’d like to buy a vowel

I updated because of the supposed fix for the keyboard lag.

Incomplete sentences make it difficult, such as the OP.

Your example is great:

• Me jumped in the pool.
• I jumped in the pool.

The second sentence is correct, so you would go with, “My twin and I jumped in the pool.”

Similar example:

• The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.
• The rain got my twin and I soaking wet.

Simplify them:

• The rain got me soaking wet.
• The rain got I soaking wet.

The first sentence is correct, so go with, “The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.”

School areas are 25 mph. Kids from elementary through high school are walking to and from school in my town of ~150,000.

I started with Motorola Atrix, then Motorola Moto X, Samsung S8, S10, Note 10+, and earlier this year got a used iPhone 13 Mini to give it a fair try.

iOS takes more steps to do things that Android can do. It was disappointing coming from the multitasking beast that the Note series is. I miss being able to do scrolling screenshots system-wide, no matter what app. iOS limits it to a few core apps and makes it a PDF… I miss being able to swipe back from either side of the screen. I miss split screen. I miss Samsung’s sandboxed Secure Folder and vastly superior One Handed Mode. I miss a better keyboard experience.

But those are things I gave up for the convenience of a local Apple Store, faster security updates, and being able to troubleshoot iOS better for my partner who’s always used iPhones.

I went almost all in with the 15 Pro; still using my Galaxy buds because they’re comfy. Continuity is nice, already having a MBP and iPad. And I’m having fun messing around with Shortcuts and reading people’s ideas for the action button. It’s not as powerful as Tasker, but that’s only because Apple limits what we can do. Scrolling with 120 Hz is nicer than 60 Hz, comparing the 13 Mini and 15 Pro side by side.

Studies show that 100% of people who injected high doses of bleach didn’t die of COVID. Checkmate, jabbers.

Great take. One of the main reasons I switched to iOS this year after always using Android is Apple’s relatively faster fixes. (Yeah Google is fast with the Pixel, but I’ve got more reasons.)

I don’t blame Apple. I wanted to share this article because some posters who experienced this were lambasted/mocked for claiming their phones overheated.

Dumb idea, reboot the phone and then connect it to the charger.
