The Art Of Not Asking Why

I knew I had it saved somewhere: Apple Watch Users Claim Workout App Is Now Worse in Every Way. Yep.

I’m used to my Apple Watch asking me if I want to record my walk as a workout if it detects a certain distance. That’s fine. What I don’t like is having it nag me over and over to record my walk. I need to mute it, which means finding the Mute button, which means taking off my glove on one hand and pulling up my sleeve with the other.

When I actually want to track a workout, it keeps nagging me to pause it if I stand too long. This can happen when I wait at a traffic light or when I tie my shoes. It also happens at home, when I work out and take breaks between sets, I often do something else as well - watering the plants, cleaning up some trash, etc.

Why? What’s the rush? There is an option to turn off resume reminders; maybe this will be it, but why is it on by default? Do people need to be reminded to keep walking somewhere? If I do two sets instead of three, it’s because I choose to stop; I don’t need to be nagged to continue, and if there’s a traffic light in the way, well, I don’t want to get run over, OK? yeesh.

This is long overdue: Audio46 page.

This comes with little surprise:

Kev shared recent survey results on how people read his website. Unsurprisingly, almost everyone (by a large margin) read his blog via RSS - myself included.

80% of the folks I find with blogs and RSS feeds are techies, and that bothers me - the normies don’t know what RSS is and how to use it.

Just finished a bug-world mission with three random folks. Movie level teamwork, suspense, and action… and dragons, how can you go wrong with dragons.

There’s not much I can do about this project at work… and it’s not like there’s anyone else to talk to about it today anyway. Time for a nap.

Earlier this week, NK and I finished watching the 7th season of The X-Files. Even though there are more seasons to go, I think I’m ready to say bye to this show. I was ready since the episode Mulder found out what happened to his sister.

After the show, we watched both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson clips on YouTube, discussing The X-Files (not together, different clips), and as it turns out, Anderson is pretty f-ing cool. Here, have a listen:

After I found out about her tattoos and the dress with the vaginas, I also learned she’s the sex therapist (Jean Milburn) in Sex Education. I immediately decided I’m going to watch it - and I just finished the first episode 📺.

I’m not sure if it’s my kind of show (I usually don’t connect well with high school shows, it just doesn’t speak to me that well) but it does have a certain charm. I see myself as a sex-positive person, and this show kind of highlights some principles I agree with in a comic way.

Well, I guess we’ll see how it goes.
