An interesting observation, but I track my sleep with a Garmin smartwatch.
I do have to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (not 1 or two hours, but 10 minutes tops), and my heart rate hits the nighttime low right after going back to sleep; my "body battery" ramps up after that point, too.
Anecdotally, this seems like a good thing to be happening.
Literally my first thought, and it wouldn't be the first time that sort of thing happened, either!
If a grant was collected, and a project had not been completed (or started), the company should pay it back with interest.
I use a blender and then run everything through a French press!
I don't have experience with an actually nut milk machine, but this method works for us.
Since we've always used unsweetened versions of nondairy milk, it's just water and almonds. Approx. 2tbls of almonds to a little over 1000ml of water.
Parker was shot in the cheek, nose, shoulder, thigh, calf, hip, abdomen and foot but survived.
Bro, WTF?
The extra equipment simply makes it easier, but you don't really need any of it. Bread, pizza dough, pasta, muffins, cookies, tortillas, and anything else that's flour-based can be made without anything but a stove or oven.
I guess it depends on your priorities. For me, it was about saving money, even if that meant a small investment in extra kitchen stuff.
Yes, a blender, bread machine, pasta maker, pressure cooker, microwave, and coffee maker all take up space in my kitchen. But for me, it's totally worth it! They've paid for themselves many, many times over!
We bought a $99 bread machine a few years ago, as the price of bread at the store climbed. It takes a minute to assemble the ingredients, then you just walk away. 3 hours later, you have bread that puts store bought to shame, and all for less than $1 per 2lb loaf.
We also started using a pasta maker, which is just as easy to use. Fresh pasta for pennies, instead of $3 a pack.
In addition, we started making out own almond milk too... using fresh almonds and water. Compared to unsweetened store bought, we're saving over $40 a month on almond milk alone.
I'm tired of these companies... all of them... overpricing their products. Make whatever you can; fix whatever you can; reuse and repurpose as much as you can!
It's like a joke by this point.
I ride on a stretch of road that has a bike lane that transitions (squeezes cyclists) onto a narrow road with no shoulder and poor quality surface. Even the sidewalk ends at this transition, forcing pedestrians onto the road.
This transition happens on an incline, so anyone on foot or bike will be going slower. Naturally, this seems to piss off drivers as if you've insulted their mother.
I always laugh, swear, and shake my head at the "share the road" sign at this section, as if it's been put there as a big FU to anyone not in a motor vehicle.
The municipalities that do this sort of thing really have no idea what cycling or walking alongside aggressive SUV drivers, who refuse to share the road, is like.
More police funding just means more arrests, not fewer crimes.
You can't blame police when our "justice system" (i.e. our courts) makes it a habit of releasing high-risk offenders.
Every time a violent offender is arrested nearby, I check to see what they were arrested for, and without fail it's multiple failure to comply with court order, and a half dozen breach of probation orders, etc.
And then they are released on a promise to appear... where they re-offend, because, why not?
Until judges are held partially responsible for any crimes committed by people who were released, things will never change.
And I can't imagine how much it costs taxpayers to arrest the same clowns over and over and over again.
but CCC now has more reliable auto tracking lists (just add to wishlist, it will auto sync and email any drops).
Well, I may give CCC another try. That feature would be HUGE for me.
And priced for the average human! Wow.
Damn, if I didn't need the fitness tracking support of my Garmin watch, I'd be all over that!
I held onto my Pebble for so long, wearing it from launch until about a year ago, where I got a Garmin Smartwatch.
So many things I loved about it, especially its simplicity and legendary battery life (at that time).
Amazon Prime Days ran on July 16th and 17th (at least here, in Canada).
This price jump happened a day before and ended two days later, but this item was "on sale" during those two Prime Days.
I've been seeing this scam far too often, especially with food items. Why isn't this illegal yet?
Now that summer is almost here, I'm looking for better ways to protect myself from the sun. I generally dislike sunscreen, but I do wear it while riding.
The helmet visor "Da Brim" (website) caught my attention. Since I wear a huge-ass sombrero-style hat when I'm off the bike, I'm fine with the way Da Brim looks.
For context, some of my summer rides might have me in 8-10+ hours of sun, which isn't good, even with sunscreen on. If Da Brim can make the experience more tolerable, I'm in!
I'm curious to hear from anyone who has one, and what their experience has been.
Should I also tip the delivery driver, and the person who made the product?
I wish each point had a footnote pointing to a study. Most of these sound pretty reasonable, but I wonder if any are simply thought to be beneficial with no actual positive effect.
