Miscellaneous Discussion Thread
I remember when my bro said that someone put something in his drink at work. Another time, He got sick eating out with strep throat when he was hanging out with a worker. I saw a worker put something in my drink because she came 1+ hours late, not reachable, and we already found a replacement. I was talking to her calmly.
People and cops have accused us of being criminals. Ironically, we are probably the few who came here legally.
I agree, and yet they do, therefore anyone ever making that claim it's probably a fake. And now there's no such claims of such things by anybody legitimate.Quote: billryanIf I died and somehow came back with a second chance at life, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't waste a precious second of it trying to convince doubters of anything.
Quote: jjjooogggI ate out. The restaurant put a tremendous amount of salt. It has become common for 1/2 the restaurants to put an obscene salt level. But this was the most ever. When I pooped it came out a shake like texture. It smelled strong of what I think is salt smell. It’s been 24 hours and I still feel high blood pressure. I know that I am supposed to go to the ER when my readings get high. But I always seem to manage.

Jog,
I really don't want to know how your poop smelled. TMI, guy.

Sorry,
I have a fever like feeling. My ear and head in general is hot. I felt blood pressure mostly when I was kneeling to fix my mower. I can’t find my pressure monitor.
I should go to walgreens buy another monitor with orange juice.

Not sure what all your symptoms indicate, and I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure orange juice is a good idea. Makes your blood sugar spike.
You said before your doctor said to go to the ER if you're having a BP problem. Maybe that would be best?
Personally, I think there's some Shenanigans going on, but here you go.

Someone ate it.
I think that leads credence to the idea it was all a publicity stunt.

The previous day I had eaten
a medium sized bag of flaming
hot cheetos with limon. Those
are definitely my favorite chips
other than perhaps Ruffles. I
also had an unsweetened ice
tea with those cheetos. Usually
they upset my stomach and
my you know what is on fire
after I eat them. But not that
day.

And the super rich buy $300,000 cans filled with the artists poo.

That is a good day for me. Hopefully it works out for you.
To be honest. Ive been forgetting to take all my meds. Which made it worse. Ill be restocking meds soon.
The cost of 4 hrs observation was covered by insurance. My deductible stayed the same. I went to an out of network ER to get faster service I probably paid more
Quote: jjjooogggThe dr mentioned giving me a med. but i only noticed the iv I recall the same symptoms with over dehydration They did a head scan. And ekg. And blood test. Nothing wrong. After 4 hr observation, pressure dropped.
You had a panic attack. They probably gave you some Ativan to calm you down along with the IV for hydration. You should probably think about removing yourself from some of the every day problems of your family business. Also, see if you can get a script for Xanax so you can take one when this happens again. Because it will.

Maybe a new sub forum is necessary
I have one of them machines, the Keurnig or what have you, that makes coffee and spits it into your cup.
If you pour the coffee from that cup into a different one, it cools off a lot faster. If I remember, I stick the cup for drinking in the freezer ahead of time.

When I start the Keurig pouring I just throw a small ice cube in at the same time. It melts by the time the cup is full and, for me anyway, it's just the right temp.
I bought like 400 servings of this coffee called SF Bay on amazon and it's already not strong enough for me. I really like Boyd's, which also uses the compostable units. I'm not thrilled about drinking liquid that has passed through plastic at extreme heat. If I save a dolphin along the way, bonus.
Anyway, maybe Boyd's would be good with an ice cube, but this stuff... gotta use the 2 cup method.

This is the closest I found so far and I thought it was really good value. I was about to order it, until I found out it didn't have the Bluetooth calling. Perhaps there's a way to get it to do the Bluetooth calling that I'm unaware of?

I am looking at buying one too. I thought they all had the wifi calling but I haven't looked to seriously yet
There's a difference between Wi-Fi calling (that can probably be used with third-party apps like Talktone and Google Voice, I'm just assuming it'll work with that)) and Bluetoothing through your cellular phone to make calls.Quote: GWAEI am looking at buying one too. I thought they all had the wifi calling but I haven't looked to seriously yet
From what I now understand the new Bluetooth 7.1.1 doesn't allow that option. Apparently it worked on the older versions. It's probably all by design to make sure you sign up for a separate cell service on the watch.
I would love to find one with everything I mentioned that was also stainless steel and included a rotating bezel(like the Galaxy watch).
Something that looks like this
Haven't seen a decent Galaxy watch that actually has a camera as well.
My wife doesn't need everything I want so I'm probably going to get her the women's Michael Kors smartwatch.

ANYONE???
I'm still having a hard time finding one with all these features.

I was looking the other day and saw on wish.com something similar to all this. Model Q18S for $20. Only takes 3 months to get here by boat.
leave it to you to come up with a $20 smartwatch watch(you cheap bastard 😃).Quote: GWAEI was looking the other day and saw on wish.com something similar to all this. Model Q18S for $20. Only takes 3 months to get here by boat.
I already looked at that one, it doesn't have access to the Android store and there's lots of other little problems from what I understand. For $20, I actually think it's probably a pretty good little Gadget( It actually amazes me that they can set make something like that for less than twenty bucks) it's probably worth a little test run as a first-time Smartwatch owner to see if it's something you would even like to use . It wood probably make a good stocking stuffer.
Thanks for the effort. I'm still not having any luck I even posted on a smartwatch forum. I think I've chosen the wrong forum as there doesn't seem to be very much activity there.
Okay, I'm offering a $25 reward for anyone that finds me I smartwatch before I do (one that I actually purchase and keep) with all those features for under $375. I'm highly motivated to buy one. I might consider more depending on other factors such as looks, quality, extra features and overall value.
Have to be careful and how much I spend because I I'm hard on things intend to break them(I probably purchase a warranty as well).
Camera, Wi-Fi, Sim slot, Bluetooth calling, full access to the Android App Store, obviously want to be able to watch videos, and some type of voice assistants. Phone calls send text messages obviously.Oh, and I could care less about all that stupid Fitness crap.
here is almost the perfect watch with all the features I'm looking for(and they're actually a great price)
The only thing this one seems to be missing is the true Bluetooth calling. I might actually you break down and just buy this one in deal with that aspect later or hope somebody comes up with a hack app or fix for it. Apparently it's the Android 7.1 .1 that doesn't allow the Bluetooth calling due to security issues.

Quote: DRichMy wife wanted a smart watch for her birthday. I was hesitant because she never wore a watch and she really isn't the gadget type. I broke down and bought her one that she hasn't even put it on yet after 3 months. Fortunately I only paid about $50 for it because I knew she wouldn't use it.
Nice. I don't see the appeal of this stuff. I still literally don't know what super expensive phones do.
When people are like, "I want a watch I can synch up with my other belongings so that I can turn on the radio in my car and it will tell me what's in my refrigerator," to me that just sounds like work.

I can actually see more sense in a smart watch over a smart phone if they can do most of the same things.
So a watch is STRAPPED ON you. Huge advantage. They haven't come up with a good way to do that with a phone. Except for the watch.
Quote: beachbumbabsBiggest single issue with a smartphone is they get lost/left behind/boosted. Went thru that extreme pain about a year ago.

I'm not going to even bother attempting to post photos, but I saw this amazing contrast. In the park, there is this statue of communist soldiers and a little girl... not sure what exactly is being depicted, but it is very commie looking.
Across the street: the least Marxist thing I've ever seen. In one picture, a giant Christian church (Marx called religion the opiate of the masses, and was not a fan) a KFC and this gigantic skyscraper that said "CapitaLand."
It's not my favorite place, but it's very interesting.
There are tons of scooters/mopeds and everyone kind of customizes them. My favorite example is that some people have oven mitts stuck to the handle bars so that their hands stay warm.
Best thing I've eaten was some fairly cheap dumplings. They are full of broth, which I didn't realize, so when I bit in, it squirted all over the place. You are supposed to vampire the broth out and then eat the rest.

Is that a Rolodex down your pants or are you just happy to see me?
You probably never thought you would get value out of a smartphone either.
The SmartWatches are somewhat equivalent to a smartphone, but just smaller. Maybe lot less likely to lose or get my smartphone stolen if I have a smart watch I think it's going to be a lot easier to take notes and do other things without having to pull out my phone each time or even bring my phone with me at all if I don't want to. Now I'll never have to worry about going back home after getting a mile down the road and realizing I don't have my smartphone with me. I don't know, will see how it goes.
It has a calling feature if you use a SIM card and add a service. But, I can't make and receive calls through my current phone and carrier from the smartwatch even if I have it next to the smartphone.Quote: GWAEI was looking at that watch yesterday. I was going to point it out because it seemed close. Are you sure they dont all just have the calling feature?
You can use third-party apps such as talk tone in WhatsApp and perhaps Google Voice if you connect to Wi-Fi.
