What Are You Doing Right Now

I'm not a big fan of the fire stick. It isn't reliable, need to restart almost daily, the sound is general slightly off in all but Netflix and apps crash on a regular basis. My Roku stick, while slower, is much more reliable and usable.

We've had to replace two already. Maybe yours has a problem.

I'll stick with my Chromecast for Netflix. Just works and you don't have to fight some weird UI.

Started the day with about 230 PMs in my SW mailbox. Have it down under 100 now.
Being famous can be a burden at times, as it seems

I love our Chromecast but the external device requirement drives my wife nuts. The Amazon Fire Stick's interface isn't bad at all. Very intuitive when it works.

I am reminded that I should really read questions before providing answers...

@coliver I use mine daily and it works perfectly. Have Amazon send you a new one.

Big fan of my Roku 3. Never had any issues with it and it's plex compatible.

I feel like absolute death right now. I may need to go to urget care
That's not good. What's wrong?
So it turns out I have extremely high blood pressure. I have to go on medication temporarily and make a very serious change to my lifestyle--eating habits, exercise, everything. I feel okay today.
I had a terrible migraine yesterday (I don't get migraines). I looked up at the ceiling and everything went squiggly and I felt like I was going to puke. Knew something was wrong and I left work immediately, which sucks because I never take time off. Just started this job so they can't really know that.

Ah... good luck with that. I have been borderline for a few years now. Enough to worry about but not enough for medication yet. Genetics got the better of me.

I don't think I'm going to need to be on meds forever. I just need maybe a year of eating healthy. I don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life. My fiance is being a food nazi now, not that I can blame her. It's like she wants me alive or something.

Ugh that's the worst. I hate eating healthy. From my cardiologist exercise is a bigger deal then eating healthy. 30 minutes of hard breathing a day at a minimum is what he recommends.

Mine said 3 days a week at least 30 minutes. The eating is more my fiance than my doctor. Idk how I would react if she were in my position though. I feel bad.

I'm actually thinking of starting a IT Tech work out program.
Motivation to get away from tech is such a huge hurdle for me, constantly wanting to tinker / play, when I really should go and push some weight or jog etc.
Anyone in the Rochester region interested?
