pat_space··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
My Garmin Fenix 6 refused to stay connected to my iPhone without deleting the bluetooth device and re-adding it, until I enabled location services for Garmin Connect to Always Allow. This contradicts documentation but is the only way I could get it to work.

pat_space··on California tech billionaire launches Senate campaign to take on Tesla
"Others familiar with the rollout stressed that O’Dowd’s team has privately been adamant he’s not trying to unseat freshman Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla, who was appointed last year when Kamala Harris ascended to the vice president job. Instead, O’Dowd’s play for the Senate is likely being carried out as a cost-saving measure and to significantly enhance the likelihood that networks will air his TV spots. Running for office entitles him to the lowest available ad rate in the run-up to the election — a perk that could save him considerable money depending on the ultimate spend. But a bigger advantage, two people familIar with his plans said, is the higher degree of first amendment protection a political run could give him for his loaded claims against Tesla."

This is why. Sweet deal on the airtime.

pat_space··on Is Spending Time on Social Media Bad for Us?
The concept of a news feed is the worst. I stopped using instagram when they switched their algorithim from most recent to AI-curated (or whatever it is). I unfollowed everything on Facebook so my news feed is empty. I still use FB groups, Hacker News, and Subreddits as they seem to have replaced forums for many of my interests. I still use Snapchat to communicate with close friends.

pat_space··on Ask HN: How do you stay healthy?
@weavie Great question. It depends on the work I am doing. I take all of my calls and virtual meeting standing on/off the board. I also create most of my status reports and do JIRA board reviews standing. However, for deep investigation, deployments, requirements writing, and other tasks that require deep focus I sit, either on a barstool or a medicine ball.
pat_space··on Ask HN: How do you stay healthy?
@bovermeyer would you mind sharing your 5 minute stretching routine?
pat_space··on Ask HN: How do you stay healthy?
Here are a few of the things I do to counteract my desk job. I live in Denver.

-Workout before work (5 days a week, switching programs/routines every 1-3 months)

-Bike to work

-Standing desk with balance board

-Lacrosse ball and theraband at my desk for stretching

-Eat well, mostly Paleo, but not super strict. No soda.

-Intermittent fasting (~8pm to 12pm)

-"Fun" exercise after work(skateboarding, basketball, yoga)

-Work from home 1-2 days a week and move around as much as possible those days.

I've found this works for me but ymmv. I've also been active most of my life.

I am very satisfied with the Confluence cloud web text editor, but the Jira cloud editor is TERRIBLE. I wish they would bring the Confluence functionality to Jira.
