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…

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.

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.

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!
