  • One of the first times I used it I ended up 30 minutes away from my destination while it INSISTED I was AT my destination.

    I’ve been looking for alternatives ever since, but it seems with Android Auto no matter what you install and use, Maps still gets your data, so I’m kinda ready to just throw in the towel, or get an iPhone just for nav or something … not sure, I’ve put a pin in it for now.

    Seems getting away from it will be the right move for me though based on your experience!




  • it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep

    Though it takes longer to achieve, it’s effects go beyond just helping you sleep - regular meditation, even purely secular “mindfulness meditation” can help achieve the same, with lasting effect, and much wider implications in day to day life.

    There is sometimes still an internal monologue, but it’s not as powerful or overwhelming, and it’s much easier to ignore or shut off.










  • I tried it. I tried just opening lots of tabs. I tried grouping tabs. Open tabs strewn across 3+ devices, “to read later”, until eventually some months later I just give up and close them, having lost interest or simply seeing a need to close some of the overflowing tabs.

    My only solution to this problem - as BAD as ChatGPT is and as much as we hate it - feed the thing I’ll want to “read later” straight into ChatGPT RIGHT THEN, and just read a summary of it.

    I’ve been doing this for a couple weeks now and so far, so good.




  • Hrm, I’ve got a $6k set of Klips I put together about a year or so ago and they all have grilles.

    I’m looking at a ~$20k set of SVS Ultra Evos in the next few months, they’ve all got grilles.

    Everything else I’ve explored and considered in the ‘window shopping’ that has led me to the SVS - Paradigm, higher end Klips, PSB, Wharfedale, JBL, all in around that same price point, also all had grilles.

    Are you sure the pictures you’re seeing are not just making a point of showing you what is under the grilles, but they do in fact come with grilles?
