No, I'm saying it's only human to retroactively want to do extreme fantastical violence against people who have physically harmed you when you live in a society that a: does not care that you were hurt because you're a man and b: pressures men into fending for themselves, sorting out their own problems and "manning up". I'm not the type, myself. But damn, no wonder downtrodden men end up snapping - because they most…

Okay, that is a lot more understandable and I do agree. Sorry for the uncharitable take!

It's fine. Even re-reading what I'd said it does seem a little extreme, but I still believe the core idea of it. I'm just watching violent criminals in UK get early release while the hapless government and public cannot rub two neurons together to just build more prisons + address problems at the root (income inequality, rising prices, lack of things to do in smaller towns/villages).

It charges if and only when it wants to. And I've been a Garmin enthusiast for a while and been through a few devices already though I am getting sick of the charging unreliability. Like if I am really careful I can plug my watch into the computer and it might start charging in a few minutes. Or like last night I made two tries and neither of them worked. I want to be able to plug it in to charge and completely take…

Agreed. I’m on my 4th Garmin and the charging cable last about a year or two at most. That said, for me it has always just been the cable and the watch is self last forever. All 4 of my old Garmin’s still work if I get them out of a drawer and charge them up. Now I just small USBC -> Garmin adapter's that normally get lost before they wear out. I would love a standards based wireless option here.

(1) Actually... I got one of these things

which "just works", like I plug the watch in and it charges... just like that! It's amazing though that Garmin has normalized "it just doesn't work" for its own charging cables.

(2) As for @Cindy HN is boring. I mean, people on Mastodon often assume there has to be something wrong with HN (like there are white people there? somebody cis posted there once? there are people there who care about making money?) but never seem to find the smoking gun. I mean, I could write about salacious things on HN but nobody would believe it. Like one reason I post a lot less to HN these days is that I am doing other things!
