The shorter class felt worth it to me just for the confidence bump. I mostly wanted to know what normal looks like so I’d notice when something’s off, and that alone was useful. The longer certification seems like overkill unless you’re around dogs a lot.
The remote is honestly my main reason for trying the shelf at all, since I can just leave it on the bed and click without reaching up. I haven’t actually set it up there yet though, so I can’t say if the angle gets weird. Still leaning toward giving it a shot before buying brackets.
Mostly just while I’m lying there trying to fall asleep, so it’d need to actually reach the pillow. That’s my worry with the shelf, since it’s a bit above head height when I’m sitting up. I don’t have the brackets yet either, so I’m just weighing whether it’s worth trying the shelf first.
I usually do a quick paper towel test before any water trip. I put a folded piece of tissue inside the case, close it up, and dunk the whole thing in a sink or bucket for a minute or so. Then I open it and check if the tissue is still bone dry. It sounds a bit silly but it caught a tiny leak on an old housing of mine once, and now it’s just part of my routine before I trust any case in the ocean. The pool staying dry is a decent sign but the ocean has a bit more pressure and movement, so I’d rather test it in a controlled way first. Also worth checking that the case edges are clean, since a bit of sand or hair on the gasket can mess things up without being obvious.
The offline list being short doesn’t really bother me. I treat it as a bonus for quick stuff, not the main way I’d use it anyway.
Ask whoever’s closest, it takes like ten seconds and then you’re not the mystery guy hovering near the strip. Worst case they say their laptop needs another hour and you know where you stand.
I actually think the hole is helpful, not a problem. I’ve used mine for a few months and it gives me a nice anchor point when I’m dicing onions and peppers. Never once had it get in the way. If anything my grip feels less slippery than with my old santoku.
I don’t bother swapping scents at all. My cat figured out the new smell thing in two days and went right back to parking herself where the treats usually show up. Moving the spots around is what actually keeps her guessing, the smell part just seems like extra work for me.
I don’t buy that it’s truly quiet enough for a light sleeper. Mine is tolerable for daytime use but I wouldn’t leave it on overnight.
Mine fits fine with my retainer in, so I just wear both and do the session that way. Been doing it for a couple months and nothing weird has happened. I figure if it’s comfortable and the guard still sits right, that’s good enough for me.
I don’t think swapping cards is really the issue here, the camera overwrites automatically so you’re never stuck without footage. The catch is that a 32GB card fills up quick in parking mode, so you’ll only have the last chunk of clips, not days back. If that’s enough for you, fine, but if you want more history you’d need to check what card size it actually takes.
I don’t really bother with offline mode unless I’m somewhere with zero signal, and even then I keep sentences super basic. Online is where I get the most out of it. I’d rather just wait until I have wifi than fight with it.
I’d probably just stick with the old ones if pocket space is the main thing for you. The FitiBeats case is fine but it’s definitely not something I forget is in my jeans. I use mine mostly at home so the size never really mattered to me.
I’d just keep it out in the open somewhere. From what I can tell with mine, sticking it behind something is asking for trouble, even if it sometimes works anyway. I wouldn’t count on it being forgiving enough for a shelf.
I actually use the pointed tip on my front teeth more than the flat one. The flat tip felt awkward to me no matter how I angled it, so I just keep the pressure light with the pointed one and it’s been fine. Everyone’s different I guess.
Wire brush heads are the wrong tool for cracks. The wire just skims the surface and can’t get down in there, so the moss is back once it rains. A narrow scraper or even a flathead screwdriver does more in five minutes than spinning a brush around for an hour.
I think it really depends on your office vibe. A coworker of mine has one and it’s definitely noticeable on the shoulders, so she only uses it during breaks or lunch. If you’re in a more casual setting it’s probably fine, but in a formal office I’d skip wearing it at your desk.
I’ve noticed with my own dog that the width of the collar band matters way more than the weight of the tracker for small necks. A wider band can actually feel more stable because it spreads out instead of digging in at one spot, even if it looks bulkier in photos. The flip side is that a wider band sometimes rubs against the throat area on dogs with really slim necks, especially if it sits low. So I’d think about where it naturally rests on your terrier rather than just the overall size. Some dogs do fine with a chunkier look as long as the band isn’t stiff. If the material has any give to it, that helps a lot. It’s kind of one of those things you only know once it’s actually on the dog for a walk or two.
Mine actually pinged at the airport while we were still on the tarmac, so it’s not strictly a once you land thing. It only updated a couple times though, nothing you could watch move. For a checked bag that was plenty for me.
I think the handle is the only part that really needs any thought. Mine has gotten wet plenty of times during use and I just make sure it dries fully before it goes back in the drawer. The blade itself is no different from any other stainless knife I’ve owned.
We struggle with the same thing in our house. For what it’s worth, the handle shape is chunky enough that my dad can grip it without his hand cramping up, which was half the battle with regular clippers for him. He still has to be careful, but the aiming issue is less of a problem since you don’t need to squeeze anything.
