I feel like I have lost significant interest in several hobbies post-FIRE. Not sure what it is, but almost feels like the hobbies were used as an escape from the day to day, but now that isn't needed anymore. I have picked up some other things, but they are more health-related activities rather than hobbies. I feel like I'm on the receiving end of the Tom Hank's quote from Catch Me If You Can:

"Nobody's chasing you, Frank"

Does connecting two devices at once reduce the data quality/accuracy versus one device?

For example, connecting to Apple Watch and ECG Logger on an iPhone at the same time?

I set up a traditional IRA in my Vanguard profile for a 72t SEPP. I already have an existing Rollover IRA. When I try and use the Deposit action, I receive the message that no Vanguard accounts qualify, and the only qualifying source account is my after tax brokerage account.

Does Vanguard lock IRAs from being able to transfer funds internally by default? Do I have to call them to unlock the accounts and/or do the transfer? From what I read online, I should be able to do it.

Most know this restricts the party to Casuals only. I noticed that the latency was really bad yesterday in a few games (140 Ms). Does this restrict matchmaking to only parties with one or more players with failed Attestation? Kind of like shadowbanned lobbies?

I realize this is a developer beta but I wanted to share. I cannot select and/or change reps during a workout. The weight can be changed using the screen or the dial as expected.

The only way to edit the reps is by using the iPhone app. Anyone else encounter this? I’m using the developer betas of iOS 27 and watchOS 27, iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch 10 series.

Just realized I had my surgery one year ago, June 12, 2025 between 8-11 am.

Thirty year wait between discovering the BAV to surgery (18 -> 48). I received the On-X valve. I was out of the hospital on day 5. They wanted me out sooner, but they couldn’t get my INR to 2.0. I’m guessing it is an insurance issue for them.

Recovery has gone pretty well, although I did deal with A-Flutter three weeks after surgery which required a cardioversion to get me back in rhythm.

I’m still at a conservative 2.0-3.0 range due to a potential minor clotting event in my pinky a couple of months after surgery which pushed me to 2.5-3..5.

What have others done to show thanks to the hospital office staff and/or cardiac nurses after surgery?

Wondering how many sellers still have original Merchants@ accounts? These are basically Professional selling accounts without the monthly $39.99 fee.

They were originally created back when you had to have separate accounts for media vs non-media.
