There’s also “The Walk” from the same makers, for us non-joggers. I tried it long ago and I think it was mostly an audio story that triggered a new chapter at some step counts.

Condoms aren’t 99% effective as contraception even if you use them perfectly, which most people don’t.

There are also 12 templar crosses. I did not find an anagram for “OREO” in Latin, nor is it “INRI” transposed directly in alphabet, but there might be something to force there. Both being four-letter words with same beginning and end and all.

Years ago the predecessor to Oscar didn’t support BMC devices, and doesn’t look like it’s changed. Yuwell isn’t listed either. Otherwise would be great. Maybe just don’t connect one of the more established ones?

I thought it was data out only too, but at my sleep apnea orientation was told (and I double checked that they really meant it) that they could also tweak settings remotely. ResMed. Always possible that they had misunderstood something too, of course.

In my language “thanks” and “please” can use the same word, sometimes it spills over into my use of English. Hopefully the tone of voice carries the sincerity of the hopeful-but-not-demanding request anyway, but that’s not available in online communication. Then again, online I usually have time to get my "thank you"s and " please"s in order.

Is there a tea like matcha that would be good to cold brew?

Sencha or any other green tea can be cold brewed.

I’d add to this that if you want cold brew green tea that tastes anything like matcha, stick to Japanese greens. Just general “green tea” is IME usually more Chinese in style and a different (though also delicious) beast altogether. Sencha is the quintessential Japanese green tea and most easily available, and IMHO makes a very nice cold brew in summer.

Actually cold brewing might also be a good experiment for any possibly remaining mid-grade matcha you may have, since the method tends to reduce astringency and bitterness; just use it like a normal tea (larger amount) and don’t stir towards the end, let the tea powder “gunk” settle at the bottom. I have not tried this.

I don’t know what Find My is like, but NextCloud has PhoneTrack and the corresponding Android app. Sessions can be made public. It’s a bit of a battery hog for me though.

Yeah, I was thinking of systems hosted by someone else, not self-hosted.

It sounds like EteSync is exactly what you’re looking for. A hosted NextCloud instance + DAVx5 is admittedly a bit lacking in the “full privacy” department, and Proton or Tutanota doesn’t integate with the standard calendars, but both would also be valid options IMHO.

It comes down to how you define “soul”.

Do I believe there’s a consciousness that transcends death or exists separately from our physical existence, no.

But if you start talking of ship of Theseus/transponder incident/mind upload -type mental exercises, then yes, I believe “self” is an evolving pattern and a collection of experiences that could theoretically be replicated in another physical manifestation or even in a completely different medium. You could call that, too, “soul”.
