Dead giveaway is the overuse of em dash

I use them a lot... Next I'll have to write like an asshole because AIs tend to be nice. :)

Disappointed you went with ellipses above when you could have emdashed!

Emdashes are for embedded asides not deserving of relegation to parentheticals. You'd need text to follow; it's not just for pausing.

I’ve been using a blunt metro umbrella in SF for years now and it’s been great with all the winds here. A bit pricey but the quality is there!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it out.

My friends got playstations because their friends had them. They wanted to be in the same ecosystem so they could play together. Of course with cross console play, this is becoming less and less of a thing.

I know this is for laughs but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a watchOS update at some point that learns your routines and understands what you’re doing.

Also, the icons you created fit in so well with the rest of the workouts. Kudos

I wonder how specific it could get. Something like "loosening the corroded, frozen roller assembly on a vintage push mower" would be pretty funny to see. My forearms were still burning the day after!

My favorite anecdote (so far) from working at Fitbit is that until 2017 or so you could log "Starting a fire, indoors" as an activity.

In the early days the web app allowed you log arbitrary activities; it would tote up the calorie value of all of them. Where did they get the activities? From a public domain list of activities and their caloric value--compiled by U.S. government economists starting in the 1930s when they wanted to estimate the caloric needs of Americans to make sure there was enough food for all the hungry farm workers and factory laborers during the Depression.

I was there the day we removed that database and ceremonially typed in "starting a..." and there was no longer an autocomplete for it.

Wow, that's pretty fascinating, I love little history details like that, too.

I find it interesting just how many calorie-estimation models there are for different purposes. I once lost at least a week and a half of weight loss effort when I inadvertently changed the TDEE estimation model from So-and-So's Model over to Whozit's Model. I remember it being really annoying to troubleshoot that...anyway thanks for sharing your experience.

Just use stable diffusion to learn movements from text sentences..

It knows when you're washing your hands already...

I wonder what a good solution to this is. The article pushes me to believe that the only way to solve these issues is writing blog posts and hoping someone notices.
