It reads to me like their first version (sharing the output html) essentially skipped their permission layer. That seems like a dangerous decision if someone can share the sales data analysis openly with users not allowed to see such data?

So, I tend to use Google as my calc. In the past I could just type 13555.86 and get the result.

Now, if I type that it lets Gemini do the math.

To avoid it I have to write 0.86 instead of .86.

The future is now.

I think it can be reached through settings, then the question mark.

Explanation of the pieces would be nice too!

Just wanted to say I appreciate your responses here. Engaging so directly with a highly critical audience is a minefield that you're navigating well.

Thank you.

When I read the title the first thing that came to my mind were Magna Tiles. Glad they made it on the list.

It's the only toy in the house that lasted the test of time from she 4-8 (and counting). Also I love tidying up Magna tiles, even that is fun!

My oldest kid got a small sample of Clixco and was surprisingly entertained even with a limited set of possibilities they offered. They're great fidget toys as well.

Nice idea but I think the predictions are way off. I ran a 3:17 in spring and targeting a 3:10 marathon in a couple of weeks.

As unlikely as it sounds Strava predicts 3:13 (think they base it on my last marathon), Garmin is similar. Runalyze is about as off as you are.

Maybe you're putting too much emphasis on weekly volume. M35 and I can run this with 50k weekly and 75k peak volume. Relatively confident I'd be able to sub 3 with weekly volume of 80k/100k peak.

Reading Faust in school left a lasting impact on me and an appreciation for the language as a tool of art.

I believe many are not even aware of the amount of proverbs coming from that classic:

Des Pudels Kern - the poodles core/crux of the matter

Gretchenfrage - the essential question

... And many more that I won't bother trying to translate.

I'm definitely the target audience for this: I hate Goodreads and I still use it on a weekly basis.

A couple questions:

- where do you get your book data from? To my knowledge Amazon has a de facto monopoly on this and there's nothing more frustrating than missing latest or niche books, its covers, etc. or having wrong data/duplicates.

- do you plan on offering a migration path? I've got years worth of data on Goodreads.

I love this and want to order a couple pairs!

1. Are the branded/not branded models the same cut? Since the angle on the pictures are different it's hard to judge.

2. Why do you not have more pictures of the shoes? Since those are probably impossible to try/return I want to try and avoid a wasted purchase.

3. What import taxes can one expect ordering to the EU?
