I’m not familiar with how they work or what kinds of data they track and return.
Uh, they track menstrual cycles. So unless you have a thing that runs on a roughly 21-35 day cycle, there’s not much dual use to get from a period tracking app.
Are you trying to think of an alternative use for when cops try to use the app data to prosecute a woman when she miscarries? There are probably some plants that need to be watered ~monthly. Like a cactus or succulent.
Drip doesn’t save anything to the cloud, it’s all local to your device. I can’t speak to the others.
Which does mean one has to backup and manually move your tracking history to a new device. Guess who forgot to do that 😂
Indoor climbing gives a big, wide-open, brightly lit area that scratches my itch for being outdoors.
Hot yoga burns out any chill I have.
Trying my darndest to keep a very consistent sleep schedule. January is my toughest month usually, and my friends know when I say my bedtime is 10pm I mean it. New Years, parties, travel, whatever be damned.
Edit: oh, new this year is a weighted blanket. That’s the “cozy” bit compared to the above. I like the weight without having to add 5 quilts that are just going to make me sweat.
You cited an idiom to dunk on other people’s humor. Was that meant to be sarcastic?
A friend invited me on vacation with her family. They are very wealthy compared to me. It was clear up front that lodging and meals were covered by them, but I was hazy on everything else. It stressed me out so bad.
Do I want to go with them to do some Expensive Activity? Of course, but am I paying for it? Can I afford it? Even if I can, do I want to spend my limited money on that? Do they see me as a freeloader? How are these other not-rich friends navigating this because no one ever seems to talk about money? Fortunately, my friend saw my stress and had a discrete conversation with me where we set some guidelines.
Repetition. Be it in written, audio, or video form, repeating in until they’re saturated in it.
Ever seen Superman III where Richard Pryor’s character realizes there’s rounding in the numbers of his company’s payroll, taxes, etc, so he writes a program to skim those partial cents into his account and he ends up shocked at the amount? And he knew it was illegal and everyone who learned of it knew it was illegal?
Companies profiting off AI trained on stolen material feels like that, but if the cops who discovered Pryor’s crime were to say “eh, partial cents aren’t a real thing anyway. No harm, no foul” and let Pryor keep skimming.
I wouldn’t. But you do you. It would be interesting to hear how well an IRL campaign would work to get users on the Fediverse.
Whoooosh.
Idk what the mod team’s philosophy is on incorporating member feedback vs shaping it to mod teams vision, but fwiw, here’s mine.
I don’t want to see every other post being about Trump either. But I also want conversation to happen. The compromise solution seems to be a mega thread; conversations continue without flooding everyone’s feed. For however this temp rule is in place, delete offending posts and redirect to the mega thread.
So 2015. What’s next? Crossfitters are obnoxious?
I accept this new term and will utilize it in everyday conversation. Thank you.
A sheep, a drum, and a snake fall off a cliff.
Bah-dum-tsss.
I will probably personally benefit from a simple financial perspective. I’m a white collar worker in an industry that will grow under Trump and I have a healthy investment portfolio.
A lot of that gain is going to route to places like Planned Parenthood and to supporting a friend whose life has already been destroyed by reproductive rights rollbacks in her home state. I need to do my homework on supporting victims of Israel’s genocide in Gaza; I want to put more towards that than I have been. I haven’t even wrapped my head around what this is going to mean for Ukrainians. And immigrants to the US. And women in the US beyond just reproductive rights. And LGBT+ people in the US. It’s a lot.
I certainly like it better, it’s an improvement, but “game changer” is strong. I’m slowly replacing gadgets to USB C through attrition. The charge port has ceased to be the failure point for any of the gadgets I own. My pile of spare cables is still excessive, but moving further back in my storage closet because I need them less and less.
I have a couple online stores I check, otherwise I just use the Google Shopping tab. Auto parts don’t seem to be spammed up as much as other things yet. Heck, online Walmart often times has what I need.
No, totally separate times in my life. Though that would have been an interesting way to dispose of the cockroaches. Based on number of eggs, I probably would have needed another 20 scorpions.
Depends on the job, special tools and workspace needed, and time.
I recently had a mechanic replace a wheel hub assembly for me. He sourced the parts, finding them for about 5% cheaper than I could find them. His labor rates were very reasonable. And I don’t have a lot of time for that sort of job, nor space to do it efficiently where I currently live. Could I have done it? Yes. But he got it done in 3 hours where it would have taken me the better part of the weekend.
I tend to get headaches more frequently at a certain point in my ~monthly cycle, not at the same time I have my period. It’s nice to know it’s coming so I can plan accordingly. Like avoid being on a road trip at that time, or proactively knocking it out with meds before it even starts.
Some people find their cycles affect their energy and recovery a lot, so they adjust their workout plans accordingly. Like knowing when within a cycle estrogen and testosterone are at their peak, versus progesterone.
Aside from just day count between periods, some people track temp, consistency of vaginal fluid, mood, weight, and probably other things depending on their needs.
