SpaceX launching Starship Flight 7 today: Watch it live | Space

After reading your reply, and rereading my original post, I just want to clear the air by saying that I was agreeing with you. I know MSRP is just window dressing, and you already mentioned regional pricing, but I was SHOCKED that the card starts at $2k! Ive built entire computers for less...hell, my first car was less! *shuffles off slowly old man style*

Thats how you get free medical and education! I thought you were exaggerating so I Googled it up, and holy moly, MSRP is $1,999: Nvidia announces RTX 5090 for $1,999, 5070 for $549 — plus AI, DLSS 4, and more | Tom's Hardware. Toss in another 21% VAT (?) and things escalate quickly.

This conversation reminds me about how I used to love the first few seasons of Heroes, then it went on to poop the bed by the time the series ended.

Happy New Year!

The brand is "celestaura" I think (you can see a tiny link under the main header). Although I cant find a homepage for them.

This is the one I purchased: Amazon.com: Smart Ring Health Tracker, Sleep Tracker Ring with Heart Rate, Waterproof Fitness Ring for Activity Monitoring/Steps/Distance/Calories, Air Gestures, Up to 7-Day Battery, for iOS Android (Black,#12) : Sports & Outdoors You do have to download a janky Chinese app thats probably already hijacked all of my credentials, but this one doesnt require a paid subscription, which is a dealbreaker for me. Then it just works by Bluetooth so you dont need a persistent internet/data connection. It cant do temperature or glucose measurements either. Ive read that ~Y2026 Apple will release a smart ring that also includes NFC and will link to your Apple wallet. This is of especial interest to me since I already use my phones NFC to make payments, it would be even more convenient to just wave my ring at it.

Hi BuzzBazz, Your best option is probably to contact Obsidian directly at: Obsidian Entertainment Support

So Im loving my new smart ring. Theres $300+ models of these rings and this is not that ring, its an $80 Chinese knockoff that I wanted to try before I really committed to wearing a good one and so far, so good. The pulse is accurate (easy enough to check myself) but I still want to test the blood pressure reading against another machine. It also has a "stress test" which I dont have any idea what its checking but my readings are in the lowest category. Another thing I dont fully understand yet is the "sleep analysis" function. I have no idea how it knows when I fall asleep and when I wake up but its accurate down to the minute. Then it somehow measures "light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep" and puts it in a bar chart for you to review. Other measurements include "Active energy spent (in Kcal), standing activity, number of steps and blood oxygen level". Finally it has a function to measure your "workout" which charts your heartrate over time and distance traveled. Its really pretty cool and frees me from wearing a watch (which I dont) or constantly having my phone on my physical body. The only down side is that my kid is mercilessly mocking me for wearing a ring on my right index finger since in their entire life theyve only ever seen me wear a ring on my left ring finger.

Happy Holidays all! Im off until 2 Jan, WOOOOO! Were having the fam over tomorrow for presents and I think we have another extended family party to go to too. I got my Christmas bonus and used some of it to buy myself a smart ring. My neighbor has one and I tried hers out and it seems pretty cool.

The US should join Canada so I can get some of that sweet sweet UHC.

But Krypto can fly! I wonder why hes slumming it by running.
