I loved his books in junior high. I was into cryptids and aliens UFOs and secret military base conspiracies and stuff like that for a long time. It's like making up sci-fi explanations for the real world.

He's up there riding that chariot now.

I always upvote microtubules in the brain acting as an antenna for consciousness. Or something like that

Unless you're going on a back country camping trip, I don't really see what difference it makes if the battery life is 3 days or 30. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4. It's a generation or 2 old. The battery lasts 2 to 4 days, depending on the features I'm using. I take it off and charge it each day while I shower.

I go on 3-4 day trips all the time and don't want to have to worry about bringing another charger. I rarely go on trips that last more than 2 weeks, so I would never have to bring a charger for the PR2. This is even more true for the PT2, which is supposed to last 4 weeks.

The main advantage of Pebble watches was their battery life. If 3 days works for you then there are more sophisticated solutions out there, including the "Garmin Vivoactive 4" which looks great. I'm personally happy with the 3 days I'm getting out of my Pixel Watch 4. For folks that consider 14 days to be a plus, I'm simply mentioning that, 10 years later, it's no longer a differentiator.

The other big differentiator is the fact that you can do anything on the watch with just buttons. Some Garmins let you easily control music without using the touchscreen, but I think it's just the 5-button ones.

This is great for when you want to give the watch input signals without looking at the screen and hitting specific tap targets, or when your hands are wet/gloved/etc.

When is the US military going to start going after all those Venezuelan fentanyl labs?

I don't remember that, but I do remember my speakers buzzing just before a call or text came through.

they still do that, but I think that this is RFI from the processor rather than a deliberate rf transmission

I haven't heard it in years, since around the time of the song your username references

I just called my representatives and told them they need to do their jobs and put a check on the executive branch and stop this illegal, undeclared war. Please do the same.

I had a cell phone before my parents. Paid cash for a TracFone when I was 16 or 17 and used that to sell weed. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Heh. When I was in high school, cell phones and pagers were banned based on the assumption that only drug dealers could afford them.
