They should move to China

That's what I'm thinking, been on pretty much straight Google since my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, moto g 2013 Google edition, then all pixels, but I've got / love my MacBook Pro and having an iPhone would probably complement that a bit.

I literally did it for a little packet from iron butt saying I'm officially one of those idiots :)

The monotony of staring at the road was getting to me at the end as well. Combined with me getting home in the middle of the night didn't help things.

I didn't have my heated grips then but did have a throttle lock. I primarily learned throttle locks suck, and I now have no lock but heated grips :)

October 2016, 1093 miles in around 18h on a 2006 Honda ST 1300

No desire to repeat that, it was pretty miserable.

I combined this into a work trip, The direct route was about 700 miles and it went great, I based this "it went great" I decided to extend the trip home to get my saddle sore 1000 (iron butt). The trip up was my dry run / test trip.

The key factor that made the return trip worse was the weather. It rained for the first few hours, and was about 10°f cooler the combination of these had me uncomfortably cold for a large portion of the ride. I had a two piece gortex suit so I stayed dry but the overcast and temperature was just cool enough to really impact the trip.

I still have the bike, it has about 55k miles on it now and I try to commute on it whenever the weather permits!!

The shop is not mine but luckily I do have access for this work. I'm actually there getting some soft spots fixed. This boat had what was left of a polyglow install all over the hull, it looked terrible. I've also sanded that off, but will now have to sand, sand, sand, buff to get it looking good again. Or at least decent again. The soft spots were there when I bought it last year. So I knew what was needed .

Just lucky the guy fixing it, who's in our sailing club has this space to use!

I doubt I'll do anything big with this boat but hoping to be on my forever boat in 4-5y to start cruising.

I'd guess yes he would

Not sure what lake but the PO of my boat bought it from Wisconsin

Beneteau First 265, which is currently about to get some barrier epoxy coats put on this weekend, followed by fresh bottom paint for next season. Boat now sails in Indiana!

Sanding down to the gel coat has been no fun!!

Right, power 10h a day is better than power 0h a day

[–] dmtalon 3 points 1 month ago

I too have seen that during extensive research

Additional information from my own research. The sky is blue

"The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development."

Doesn't say which 80 but 80 should be a broad swath

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.

 

cross posting my own post here. Just realized there's two googlepixel communities. Just an FYI. Peak Design did acknowledge my email them, but no updates from them.

Have been using a P7P and PD case for quite a while now, we moved over to the PD ecosystem because we have both Android and Apple phones in the house and I wanted a way we could all just put our phones into a car mount and charge without having multiple wires.

I have an amazon dual charge wireless stand that is 'Made for Google' whatever that means. I use it to charge my P7P w/PD Every Day case, and my Pixel Buds.

I received my P8P PD Everyday case Monday, and yesterday I wanted to put it on the stand to charge it up a bit. Set it on there and after a bit noticed a red flashing light. It was NOT charging the phone. Tried placing it again, same issue.

As it turn out, the P8P case must have changed enough to cause some issues.

P7P + PD Case works fine P8P Naked works fine P8P + $13 amazon magsafe TPU case works fine P8P + PD case does not work.

I sent them an email yesterday with details, but buyer beware.

*Edit: One other thing about the PD case, is the camera bump protection (lip that is taller than the camera) seems like it's smaller. The P7P lip isn't huge, but the amazon TPU case covered a large part of the bump completely which would create a lot more protection. *

Stand:

Amazon case that works with stand.

 

I normally don't upgrade to the next series, but with trade-in,and pixel watch 2 deal I decided why not

While I didn't particularly love the curved P7P screen it did give you more desktop real estate. The 8s screen feels a tad squished in. Everything on screen is a bit smaller. I don't hate that but it's a surprise.

I just got my Peak Design case so I can use my PD mounts (motorcycle primarily). The case seems decent however, much like my opinion of the P7P case, I think it could use slightly more lip to protect the screen and camera bump. The screen lip is probably fine if you don't run a glass screen protector, adding that thickness really reduces the lip.

Otherwise, I have only really spent time setting it up, not much time using it yet :).

 

Just saw this in "all" and thought I'd share.

FCC vs. Miami (self.fccincinnati)
 

I cannot believe that ending... we played amazing, we did everything right, but apparently Miami can't lose now. Just absolutely gutted after that effort.

At least Kubo scored. Personally I think he should start instead of Boupendza.

 

With such a strong lineup, I was really disappointed in their showing, or lack of showing tonight against the crew.

Hope they put this behind them quickly because obviously, Miami is on fire and Wednesday is not gonna be easy.
