  • I used rebble for quite a while—super kudos to those folks—but eventually gave it up. The battery life was finally showing signs of loss and my wife had already made the switch to Apple Watch when her Pebble died.

    I’m kind of surprised rebble was allowed to continue this long after FitBit bought then killed Pebble. I know they said rebble could exist, but IIRC, there was some hinting it wouldn’t be for too much longer. Glad they either forgot about it or just let it be.








  • 1)Zero issue with what was spent. Why does it cost so much?

    Cognitive dissonance much?

    2)Almost zero success.

    I disagree, but it’s way too complicated for you and I to hash out here, especially coming at the issue from opposite ends, you as a perhaps general citizen and me as a teacher. Maybe a long hangout at the corner coffee shop would be in order some day.


  • The Pentagon asked for less. It most certainly IS over-budget. When I say “the military” I mean the Military Industrial Complex, of course. I’m a supporter of our military, of the people actually in it. With a budget greater than the next ten countries combined, the M-I-C is outlandishly frivolous.

    Regarding this, but more to the KC schools topic, it seems like your philosophy of budgeting is that only 100% = success, and anything less = failure.
