Definitely in the category of “ol’ reliable” in terms of watches but I like the Pro-Trek because of some of the added features like the compass, barometer and altimeter.

I’ve had mine for a good while now and it’s out up with all maner of abuse. Plus mine has a canvas strap that I prefer over metal or silicone.

That or the Casio Pro-Trek if you want something that’s not the G-Shock

It’s a matter of finding where the line between cost and user satisfaction meet.

Like sure you could limit all videos to 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 1080p but most everyone now wants everything 120fps @ 2160p which takes up dozens of gigs per video and eats up bandwidth.

I think a big part of that is just straight up storage space, more specially a lack thereof. Google won’t release specifics but estimates put the total data stored by YouTube at somewhere near an exabyte (1 million terrabytes). Most of which is made up by video files.

Of course that’s just issue number 1 of many to figure out.

Yea peertube is rough… Mostly in part due to, in my opinion at least, people wanting to make use of YouTube’s ad revenue system even tho most creators I watch making most of their income via donations rather than ad revenue.

I didn’t work 3rd shift (11pm-7am) but I worked 2nd shift (3pm-11pm) Mon-Fri. Found a 24/7 gym which was empty at night when I got off work (bonus), would get home from the gym at around 1230-1 am, would do my meal prep and house work till about 2am then I’d conk out for the night, wake up at around 10 or 11, go grocery shopping and run errands till about 1pm or just hang out and do random stuff. Wasn’t hard to stay healthy. mind you I’m a staunch anti-social and was single at the time which made it infinitely easier because I didn’t have a commitment to anyone besides myself but after getting married and having a kid, physical health wasn’t hard to maintain. It became difficult to manage my martial and mental health.

I guess I should elaborate. I look at more than just what’s on the site. I’ll actually go around and look for 3rd party reviews and such. It’s not fool proof but I’ve had a much better buying experience since I’ve started doing that.

I look at reviews more than I look at advertising. On top of that I look at negative reviews. Most negative reviews usually have pros and cons listed or will actually go into depth about the product and it’s shortcomings unlike most positive reviews that just say “it’s great!”

Thankfully I can just filter their email address straight into the garbage bin but it’s still ridiculous.

With the advent of the internet and a bit of sailing the high seas it wasn’t hard to get a hold of em anyway.

I’m just glad that a lot of people i associate with can see the obvious double standard and call it out as bullshit.

Guess it just depends on the audience. When I was deployed and the power went out for 4 hours we (about a dozen of us) had a several hour long debate on who the most talented porn star was. For some that’s not a weird conversation, for others… Yea they probably think we’re insane.

And it’s fucking hilarious to me that a double standard has appeared.

“But he has autism so it’s ok.”… Meanwhile any other random person with autism who does something wrong (even tho they may not understand or even know what they’re doing) is dragged through mud and hit with “it’s not an excuse!”

The same guy who has toddler level temper tantrums when people call him out for being a man child.
