I have an old email A and new email B. I added B, changed the email on Instagram and Thread from A to B, but the change is only saving on Thread. On IG, it still says my email is A and lists A as primary contact in the accounts center. I have no other accounts in the accounts center. Both accounts are personal accounts.

Meta AI was useless, refused to connect me to a real agent, and I don't trust "submit form" because those things go into black holes. Never seen a large company fix a bug after I reported it, so I stopped bothering.

I started jogging this year and have always wore random T-shirts, but the humidity was brutal yesterday despite starting shortly past sunset. And it was high 80s F, but there'll be days coming with low 90s at sunset. The obvious solution is run without a shirt, but I don't want to do that, so I figured I'd buy lighter and more optimized shirts specifically for running, and see if the jog feels nicer. I'm seeing SOAR or NoFry are among the greatest for this scenario, but I don't want to spend $100 per shirt before checking whether something cheaper is already comfortable enough.

I already tried searching online, but there's so many options at so many price points, with so much noise, that I can't figure out the wisest place to start. All I know is to apply a special case of the general stategy for upgrading quality of life: start with something not too cheap, see how it goes, and then stay there or go up a tier.

I'm open to deal hunting/sniping to maximize quality per price, and would like to hear any strategies on those.

My Redpocket GSMT annual plan renews 9/1, so I'm looking in late August to either switch to GSMA for another year, or switch providers to Infi Mobile. Even T-mobile is good enough for random use in cities when I'm at a business/outside without Wifi, but I keep getting screwed on road trips or car rides. I try to use downtime to get stuff done on my laptop via mobile tethering hotspot, but even when there is signal, hotspot often fails. Support fixed it last month, but only after it was too late and even then, the speed was in the dozens of KB/s range (took a minute just to load a wikipedia article).

All that being said, Infi Mobile is cheaper, but I don't want to save money and then suddenly get screwed when I want to rely on data/hotspot in a crucial way.

Here's a comparison I made:

Price: $100/year Redpocket vs $49/year Infi Mobile

Data: 3GB/m RP vs 5GB/m IM. Either amount is enough.

Coverage: RP shows a great map via CoverageGenuis, IM doesn't have zoom and scroll feature to be able to tell what's going on

Speed: Unclear. Anything >10MB/s would be good enough since I don't watch videos or game on my phone.

Hotspot: Neither has it (pay extra as needed), but as I understand, you can still draw from your monthly data allotment to tether to computer.

Compatibility: I have Motorola Edge 2024, which Infi Mobile says works with physical sim but not e-sim. Would that screw me on international travel if I keep my sim, but need a one-off plan? Or do I just go off the e-sim compatibility criterion for that one-off plan, whatever country I go to and provider I choose?

Any other comparison criteria I should be aware of?

If I'm connected to one of my phone/laptop and want to connect to the other, I have to turn bluetooth off on the 1st and then press connect in bluetooth menu on the 2nd. This has been discussed here before. Is there any workaround?

I'm glad there's no re-pairing or forgetting business, but this still feels clunky, especially since my old headphones didn't even need bluetooth toggle, in fact they'd automatically pivot as long as sound was only coming from one of the devices.

It only loses 5-10 seconds at a time, but I'll still come out ahead looking for a workaround once I do a switch hundreds of times. Also, I don't want to get caught off-guard accepting a call and forgetting to switch before I do.

I want to be able to do a split because it looks cool and seems like a nice flexibility goal, kind of like touching your toes without bending your knees, crossing your legs behind your back, or that exercise where you're lying on your stomach but can still lift both legs off the ground and curl them.

I'm looking for a stretching routine at night to accomplish that which complements the physical activity I already do. I lift and do pickleball in the morning/afternoon in some order, a jog in the evening, and I e-bike 0.5-1.5 miles between things a lot; sometimes 5-10 miles each way for certain pickleball places.

Let me know if there's any more info I should provide to get a better answer.

Edit: I mean 1.5-2 hours

This laptop is 4 years old. I know things get worse over time, but I wanna put off getting a new laptop. Using the laptop for several hours without charging access is rare, but when it comes up it's annoying that my battery runs out and I have to put it away, so I'd like to get the problem out of the way. 

I don't want to buy a new laptop because besides this issue and the plastic slowly cracking more, it still works well; maybe in a few years.

My strip stopped sticking well to the velcro and so I have the same issue as this post. 2 sellers are mentioned in the comments. Tradeinn no longer sells the part "due to the Oakley new distribution regulations," and bike-discount has a 50 Euro shipping fee.

I'm ok with an official pad, or a knockoff/generic with the same dimensions that still fits. I started looking for the latter, but almost everything I see looks different.

I found this for $26 after shipping: https://www.backcountry.com/oakley-drt-aro-sweat-guard-kit#product-info. Length looks correct, but how can I confirm if they don't list a measurement? More importantly, can I get a better deal?

Lastly, is it possible I can just repair the strip since stickiness is the only issue? No smell, tearing, or warping issues like other posts talk about.

I'm using Runolim WH301A, which is very cheap but good enough for me besides wanting a little more battery life (i.e. I don't care for sound quality or bells and whistles; the middle button to pause/unpause music is quite enough). However, now I want to upgrade noise cancelling to the maximum, so I did a little searching and read how Sony is strong in this department.

I'm willing to pay up to $100 and don't mind anything used as long as it's just cosmetic damage or slight battery decline, and figured the eBay XM3 listings for $50-60 + shipping are a good deal for noise cancelling. But is there a catch? And can I get substantially better cancelling below that target?

I have only seen 2 examples, but already it seems there must be a pattern and some reason for the pattern. The title should contain the whole question, but let me know if I should try to describe the situation more precisely. Some examples:

There's a category of memes that contains a lot of ones from the same author that have a "get your tshirt at..." plug at the end. It turns out due to that ad, you can track down what the original account of the memes should be and thereby cut through all the layers of reposting. So finally, you click on who made the memes, it's someone with like 10 boring real life posts and no memes, and then you see a shit ton of memes in the retweets section, but most of them are crap, and it is only some subset of those that are the ones the original creator actually made, and those are the high quality ones to look at, but you can't find how to make exactly those appear instead of seeing all posts or not seeing the posts at all.
