@matigo One can adapt to temperature changes by adding and removing layers but when it’s this hot it’s hard to remove any layers when you have practically nothing to remove. ?
@phoneboy Yup. Another example how people ignore the ripple effects of a seemingly simple change.
Yikes… It will be darn hot also tomorrow. +30°C, with the Feels Like temperature being 3 degrees higher. I don’t like this.
Also, how old were those two clows who meet in Helsinki tomorrow? Weren’t they pretty old already? The Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued a warning for the heat, noting that elderly people will most likely suffer from it quite bad.
@jws Yeah, that’s a downside. But one can select which notifications are sent to the Watch. Also, I believe a majority of people should tame their notifications and switch the majority of them off. I have done that few years ago so I get only those notifications I want. However, I should take another look at my notifications again soon, there is a good chance I could control them better than now.

@gtwilson I don’t get the bad rep Apple Watch gets. Some people will find it really life changing, others will enjoy the convenience it brings, and some will find it annoying. To which group one belongs to needs personal experience with the device, nobody can tell that for sure in advance.
I would like to have one. I am really interested in the exercise features, and the other features would most likely be handy in my daily life. My wife said once that she would like to have one too and she is usually against all kinds of gadgets. I thought I would buy her one at some point, but we have had a tight budget lately for practically everything.
Speaking of tonight’s run, I ran 3 laps around the pond next to our home. There is a recreational path going around the pond. The path is fairly wide, 3 or 4 adults can easily walk side by side, but there are some parts where only 2 people can walk side by side. The ”official” length of the path is 1.7 km but based on my sports tracker’s GPS the length of the inner edge is almost exactly one mile. I found that interesting.
The run tonight was… not so great. 5.62 km in 36 minutes, averaging the pace closer to 6:30/min. On the other hand, it was my first attempt to run that long (that is, 5+ km) since October (when, coincidentally, the pace was about the same) and there was hot out there (well above 20°C even that late in the evening).
Also, I think I have found my natural cadence too. It’s between 165 and 170 steps per minute. But, alas, I might have gotten a blister to both feet too.
@matigo That too. I checked the work chat in case there would be some important things discussed. Apparently the ”hottest” topic was that Apple made an internal update to MacBook Pros. You can guess where the discussion went. I have personally checked many times and no, Apple’s hardware is not more expensive than that from any other manufacturer with equivalent specs. It’s a totally different matter if you dislike the hardware choices (port selection, keyboard, etc.) Apple has made.
Sigh… When people get their heads out of their asses and stop using old and factually incorrect claims.
