Garmin 235 is pretty cheap for Prime Day if anyone needed a new watch

Yeah, I'm pretty tempted.

I cracked the face on my 230 and the battery life isn't what it used to be.

It really does seem like a great deal. It's a better watch than my Vivoactive 3 and way cheaper right now so I'm sort of pissed.

Crossing a (digital) picket line is the least surprising thing about you.

Because billionaires shouldn't exist

Two years ago I bought some running shoes on Prime Day that really kicked off my second or third running career.

I'd buy the rose gold Vivoactive for my wife but of course they only discount the black one

its a two lane road that ends at my company and our nice little turnaround

i was on the left most edge of the road without running into weeds. running towards traffic like a good jogger and this guy didnt move even though there was no traffic coming. his side view mirror was maybe 6 inches from my head
If you normally expect cars/trucks to veer a little bit away from you, it sounds like you might be a hazard, yes/no?

You may be right, but whatever causes a vehicle to veer out of its normal path is still a potential hazard.

Additionally, although it may be your legal right to be there, it is still your normal-ass BMI body vs. 100,000 pounds of obese steel

I've noticed sometimes people swerve way farther out of the way than they need to. I've been on roads with bike paths on the shoulder and people still do it. I suspect it's just a fat being passive aggressive many times.
