Works great using an app like gadgetbridge. It Syncs notifications, music control, HR, step counter, etc. It apparently has GPS text directions but I've never used it.

I will tame a herd of wild tanks and let you know my results

Try to deliberately learn something each time you cook.

Feel like curry? YouTube how to make it from raw spices.

Feel like soup? YouTube how to make your own stock.

Didn't like a meal? Ask yourself what you didn't like.

Was it the texture? Cooking time? a particular ingredient?
If it was an ingredient, learn about other ways to prepare that ingredient, or find another version of that recipe and do it slightly different next time.

Once you learn a bunch of recipes you start to acquire techniques and knowledge of how flavours balance and interact. These days if I want to make something I will find 5 versions of that recipe, see what's common, what's unique. I'll use only the bits I want because I have a feel for the general flavours, what I like / don't like, what I can be bothered buying.

So, learn new recipes on YouTube, start to play around with them. Try to watch videos where they are actual qualified chefs who explain not just how but why they do something. For example, some basic tips and tricks videos from Gordon Ramsey. Consider buying some high quality essentials to start with - a knife, chopping board, a pot and a pan will do.

Above all, give yourself time. You gain confidence when you know what works only after years of trial and error.

I gotta say, the step counter is accurate. I've tallied steps on longer walks and it was only off by 0.5-1%

Not yet. The camera is still not really usable and the battery life is very bad. It's all about Linux optimisation though, so it has huge potential.

5km walk for 1hr. No less. Doesn't matter where, just walk 5km.

I get about 4-5 days with moderate use and a constant BT connection to my phone. There's a few big impacts like the heart rate monitor, so I never use it

It does. Its one of the stock apps. I'd say it works pretty well but I don't like it as you can pick up the vibration sound on a condenser mic.

Misleading headline. Not the scandal they're hoping for.

The article doesn't mention whether alcohol was involved, but if it happened in the Valley at 3am, I'd say he wasn't out selling girl scout cookies.

Funny, I've always called them traffic light menus

That makes sense. I guess that makes the elipsis ..a takoyaki menu?

Perhaps someone can build a bot to post once-weekly helicopter posts, just to help settle in?

My personal favourite is LiftOff at the minute. It does global searches on posts and comments, which has really helped with discovery.

I do like that. Perhaps an exponential factor where if you downvote 10 comments you lose 1 karma, downvote 20 you lose 10 karma, etc.

Everyone has overcooked their fruit loops at least once, it's a rite of passage

Partisanship aside, referendums are always close. The republic referendum was the same.

Trouble with this one is, theres a lot of confusion about what's proposed. Confused people vote no.
