So am not a Garmin user (Apple) but for years now I will regularly wash my band with soap and water and regularly wipe the back of the face (the sensor part that comes in contact with your skin) with a cloth soaked lightly in alcohol.

If I am doing some outdoor work or a lot of exercise then I will always do this as well afterwards. My wife ran into some issues with her wrists after getting hers where she developed a rash and found that regularly cleaning of the watch - both band and the sensor area stopped this from happening.

Because a death cult runs our political system in the US.

Well, sexdolls or Terminators, which one will it be?

There can be…only one!!

Because all US politicians do this. Including all the ones on the Supreme Court. The entire system is corrupt. That’s why Roberts wont go before anyone and discuss it or why no one is really pushing too hard to do anything to him about it. They all do the same thing in one form or the other.

Yeah same here. I’ve ditched all social media now except Lemmy and for that I have only a handful of favorite subs I like to read.

But I use my phone for photos, music, email and wallet. Occasionally maps if in a pinch.

I remember as a child having more than one family member who were in their 90s. So old to me was 70s+

I have family that live there now. All I hear from them anytime we talk or visit is how bad Ballad is since they took over the local hospital systems.

Geeze whose gonna be next, Dolly Parton?

Got to have time to sanitize it before the public gets it am sure. Cannot make Israel look too bad.

:cough: :cough:

Her comments/tweets about mind control tech??

I mean she says something crazy like daily.

Was waiting for the Cave Johnson comment.

Gozer about to be in some serious shit.

Thanks! I will check it out.

Ah thank you for the suggestion!

So got a question for you. I have wanted to get in to this - just as a curiosity. Is there an inexpensive set of picks a person can buy to get started with to play around with?

I tried googling and ran across about a hundred different suggestions and Amazon was the usual (no help).

Yeah, I was young and it was my first job out of college (technically I worked thru college but this was my first after graduation) so I was very inexperienced still and also didn’t know what to look for when it came to red flags.

The owner’s wife worked there in a ‘higher up’ position and was the major cause of a lot of conflict at the company. Basically he would give people orders then she would come along and contradict them.

If anyone disagreed with her then she would go to hubby and complain about said person(s) making it impossible to please either because you couldn’t prove her wrong. That designer in particular was just the latest of ‘trophy wife’s wrath’. The place had an insane turnover rate I quickly found out.

At least it was a good learning experience and taught me to ask questions and meet people during the interview process.

Was hired at a company as a designer. Went to the production meeting and sat down beside another designer (introduced myself and we started chatting). In comes everyone else and sits down. We all start chatting and do introductions.

Five minutes into the meeting the company owner comes in, chatting with a salesman. He glances around the room, then his face freezes on me - he then looks at the guy beside me and keeps looking back and forth. He finally motions for me to come outside the conference room. I walk out and he asks me what I was doing there. I tell him ‘remember, you hired me and my start day was today??’

He turned pale and just said ‘oh yeah I forgot’. He let me go back in the room but then I heard him call the guy beside me out.

The guy never came back. Apparently he had intended on firing him and forgot.

Needless to say I didn’t stay long before I found another job. The place was complete chaos.

Both parties - Democrat and Republican - here in the US - are part of the ‘problem’ and need to go. We desperately need a third or multi party system and an end to this bullshit of geriatrics ruling our government and making decisions.

I would make comments about the first line all the time on Reddit and immediately get downvoted to hell because people would start arguing or making comparisons to the old ‘two sides of the same coin’ bit. That’s fine if that’s how you want to see it.

I get it, we all have certain things we fight for that the other party shits on, women’s rights (abortion), equal rights, labor, gun control, taxes, etc.

But both parties still serve their corporate masters and still do their damndest to turn people here in the US against each other using ever scare tactic imaginable and thru the media sources (Fox, CNN).

They just keep playing the Game to turn people against each other and create more decisiveness and more power for them.

It’s more like the origin story for the Cymeks in Dune. Although they were at least human once.

People worry about AI taking over the world when it will probably be human machine hybrids deciding ‘yeah fuck humans’ in their giant killer Mechs.
