As a friend once wrote, “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

This is pretty out-of-touch. I mean, a lot of us kinda need to know the time at some point. It takes a special kind of privilege to be able to unshackle yourself from any semblance of a schedule, a privilege that not many of us have.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.

Do you know why most people don’t get those?

Insurance won’t cover them.

My insurance covers this.

Sure Bobby. I went and got myself an open-source "smart" watch that pairs with another FOSS app that doesn't send anything outside of the device.

What? Not like that? Oh, too bad.

It's been like this for quite a while. What about it?

Interesting, never heard that before. TIL.

What's the significance of ”KOS”?

The ~2010 runaway Toyota hysteria was ultimately blamed on mechanical problems less than half the time. Floor mats jamming the pedal, drivers mixing up gas/brake pedals in panic, downright lying to evade a speeding ticket, etc were cause for many cases.

I owned an FJ80 Land Cruiser when that happened. I printed up a couple stickers for myself, and for a buddy who owned a Tacoma, that said "I'm not speeding, my pedal's stuck!" (yes I'm aware the FJ80 was slow as dogshit, that didn't stop me from speeding).

What else could that possibly mean?

Wow. Every time I read about Comcast I'm reminded why I hate them so much.

I pay $89/mo for gigabit fiber and a static IP through a local ISP. Not comcast. Hopefully never again.

Easier for the gullible maga base to remember and parrot as if the title actually means anything. You know they don't actually read the bills, they only know what fox tells them.

It says Honda right on the side of the engine.
