You are not okay to drive after two booze rounds

A lot of people aren't into this. A lot. They just stay quiet because they've been told they're wrong to not be into it. You're not alone here. Just do what makes you happy and wait it out. That's what I'm doing

The nuance is that exercise that's baked into people's everyday routines gets done, and so extends healthy life. Exercise that requires extra time and effort gets done a lot less. This is why everyday physical activity through moving around is so important

This ticket is odd by UK standards, and the arrangement you describe isn't the norm. These seat reservation tickets normally specify a particular seat

I believe the claim was that the vibrations of the turbines cause problems for the whales

They absolutely do not support this in any meaningful way. Try telling them they have to get rid of their car and stop flying, and that in the meantime gas prices will shoot upwards, and then let's see how much they actually support this. They just said they supported it in a poll either because they thought that's what they were meant to say, or because they didn't understand the implications of what they were agreeing to

Contrary to what somebody else has said here, this IS potentially extremely useful as it paves the way for real-time aerodynamic calculations when paired with power data. mywindsock is the go-to resource for this, but briefly, with wind data your head unit could quite easily calculate real-time CDA, and as a result pretty much make the advantages of wind tunnel testing available to all of us - plus give instant feedback mid-ride on how well we're holding a good aero position.

In short, this device could be a game-changer and I suspect every pro will have one almost immediately

Pretty sure the comments on HN are written by AI, given how many say the same thing of "This is what it is now, just accept it"

Just to be clear, this is capitulation to a car industry that failed to modernise fast enough and now is crying out for protection from Chinese competition while they belatedly get on with some R&D

If you read the paper, they're building on existing work that shows night-time light affects the metabolism

Just waiting for all the people to come and tell us to use Mastodon so that the people of Mastodon can shout at us for Mastodonning wrong

 

I've got an older machine that I'd like to give a second life. I've always been an Ubuntu fan in the past, but checking their site for a lightweight distri it looks like they've gone all 64 bit. Is that right? Can I still get a recent version for a 32-bit processor?

 

I turned on the workout recommendations on my Fenix 6 Pro months ago. I've been hunting through settings on my watch and in the app, but can I find the option again?

Could anybody put me out of my misery and remind me where the setting is?

 

I noticed today I was having to use fingerprint unlock every time I wanted to access my 6a, even though normally I use Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked when it's near my Bluetooth watch. I just checked through the settings and Smart Lock has disappeared, as has on-body detection. Has this happened to anybody else?

 

Ideally for absolute beginners?
