That's not how I read it. As in, this is an incidental comment. But the unprocessed version is the raw values from the sensors visible in the first picture, the processed are both the camera photo and his attempt at the end.
I don't think that's it. For me sometimes my phone compass is (roughly) right, but sometimes points in a completely wrong direction, for example 90 degrees off. It calibrates after a while when I start walking but I guess this is what OP had in mind, not a few degree difference.
iPhones can regain the compass fix if you move the phone along a figure eight path while holding it flat and level. Worked pretty well for me in the past.
It’s the plastic bottle. Anything packaged in a plastic bottle will have the same effect. Although the acidity of the soda will probably increase the plastic shedding.
What about reusable plastic bottles? (Ex. Nalgene) I imagine they wouldn't be as bad since the water would only sit in the bottle for a day tops, limiting plastic shedding.
Then again, maybe they shed more overtime? I have a 15 year old Nalgene bottle that I still use. Would be nice to know how hard plastics vs. soft plastics differ in their plastic leeching.
Depends on a person I guess. I suffer in shared rooms and it's exhausting both physically and mentally for me. At the same time the few times I was in a capsule hotel were between OK and great - I just need a clean private space to rest and that's it.
Really? I spent a few nights in a capsule hotel in Shinjuku (Tokyo) and the experience was great. It was cheap, quiet, clean, and had everything I wanted (quiet private space, free coffee and "onsen" bath. Would definitely recommend.
Never stayed in one, but "quiet and clean" are pretty much de facto standard for any Japanese accommodation.
I always enjoyed their hotels, and my preference was usually some of the cheaper ones, like the Prince hotels. I have stayed in ones like the fancy Dai Ichi ones, but I felt that they weren't really all that much better than the cheaper ones (but I'm sure there's even fancier ones, for folks that can afford).
Does he really hold cash? Or does he hold TIPS for example, and people colloquially refer to it as "cash"? I assumed it's the latter since it makes much more sense.
Cash and cash equivlants are referred to in finance as cash, since they are–for all practical purposes–equal to it. Except yield generating. Which, if you're not an idiot, is how you hold cash.
Stock market is not gambling, but you can definitely gamble on the stock market. Considering it's a zero sum game (instead of negative sum, like in casino) and it's taxed favorably I have no idea why anyone still does sports betting.
I don't like picking on definitions, because then we start discussing the definitions instead of the underlying points. But if you're going to make such definitive statements, then I have to reply with "depends on your definition of gambling".
> gambling: the practice or activity of betting : the practice of risking money or other stakes in a game or bet
The financial markets are only near-zero sum at the level of large finanical institutions. For everyone else there is a cost per transaction (either a direct fee or your info gets shared with a favored sharkpool first). Limit orders give away information and market orders pay the spread between buy and sell. Not exactly zero sum at a technical level, but definitely much closer to it than casinos.
