I've already made it through All Systems Goku, which followed two of the Giant Bomb guys on their first viewing of Dragon Ball Z Kai. It was a lot of fun! There were a lot of wrestling references, all of which I didn't get, but they had a fun time.

I tend to be generous with votes if I like specific posters and want to encourage them. I like to assume that's ok, but is there an official take on that?
And what about people who are likely to share an IP address with me? I'm on a small node with fewer than 200 users, and at least 2 or 3 come here (got invited by one). I don't necessarily know them but will that look like alt accts boosting votes? Is there a whitelist or something like that for verified individuals on the same address maybe?

I'm in the market for a fitness tracker.
My usual fitness activities (stationary elliptical trainer, hiking, biking) are temporarily restricted, so I've been swimming a great deal. Using a phone isn't giving me adequate exertion tracking data for walking (stride counts and heart rate not available/accurate), and it's especially not useful for aquatics.
I'd be grateful if anyone can recommend something they have experience with.
My constraints are as follows:
I'd rather not contribute to e-waste with yet another gadget du jour - service life should be at least the recharge cycle life of the battery.
No Apple or Samsung devices. I'm not in those ecosystems, and don't plan to be because reasons.
Should be at least IPX5, preferably IPX7 waterproof.
Helps if it's not butt-ugly, but I'll take what I can get - replaceable bands are a plus.
Able to fit women - I don't have issues with a larger face so much as a band that's too large to fit comfortably or provide secure contact for accurate heart rate monitoring.
GPS and sleep tracking would be nice, but not mandatory if the device ecosystem isn't reasonably private.
Non-proprietary rechargers preferred.
A couple of Fitbit models seem be well-reviewed, but actual user ratings are equivocal, and quality is erratic.
Looking forward to any contributions!
