Sambal is chili paste. A lot of the time, depending on the cuisine, it has other things in it. Sometimes just garlic. Sometimes it’s shrimp paste. I’ve yet to have one that wasn't delicious! I’ve never seen this dish before. Looks…interesting. :)

I’ll echo what @[email protected] said, Garmin is really the only way to go. Currently. You can basically run them completely disconnected from Garmin after you get them setup.

I’ll also echo what @[email protected] said but qualify it by saying the PineTime is…a piece of junk. I wanted SO much to like it, but nothing about it works the way that is intended. It will not monitor your heart rate accurately. At least not for longer than 30 seconds. It will also not keep accurate count of your steps. It just doesn’t have sensitive/effective enough hardware for it. The firmware and OS are barely maintained. It’s sad, but true. I’ll be the first person in line to drop $500 on an Apple Watch or Samsung Watch equal FOSS watch. The market just doesn’t seem to be there.

For the first time in a long time I got to have a (mostly) quiet and leisurely shave, today. I celebrated by pulling out my B&M Night Music, my trusty old Maggard M3 and its brother Omega synthetic brush. This is my original set from when I first got into the hobby. It was glorious. The smell took me back. It was my first artisanal and it was such an experience. Still got a beautiful lather and a brilliant shave. This time, I even picked up a little coffee in the scent. Must have been the vanillin aging. Loved it. Made my day. Happy shaving!
