can’t do it. my ex-wife’s name is taylor, and the thought standing on her hits areas better left unexplored… tho it might be worth $14 to accidentally drop it out the window.
@Glucose I bought that one too. The setup is weird but it will do all of the other stuff (no BMI like this one though). You need to set it up with your height gender etc. and then weigh yourself druing the set up, otherwise it doesn’t “know” you ad it won’t do the magic electrical calculations of your teeny bad self.
FWIW this model today’s electronic part looks exactly like the Escali one from the last go.
Actually checked the features list to see if it had a Bluetooth speaker, because that’d be just crazy enough for me to consider it. Does that mean I have Stockholm Syndrome?
It looks like Taylor makes a bunch of different scales, but this specific model doesn’t seem to exist outside of Walmart and a few hardware stores. Which is WEIRD. I basically only buy things from Amazon. What else is out there that I don’t know about?!? There could be so many slight variations on mundane products for me to agonize over.
I am not sure where kylethephotoguy’s blinking eyes are at: But I think this scale would be very appropriate for what psychiatrists call disassociative identity disorder, and what us laypeople call multiple personality disorder.I and my several selves were discussing buying one, but “Marjorie” said she’s against buying anything that has less than five picture. Saturdays are “Marjorie’s” day, so no scale for the rest of us.
Perfect timing! My wife is 9 months pregnant and will LOOOOVVVEEE me purchasing this as a gift for after little Koën Optimus is born! I hope she likes it…
I bought the last one, maybe some day I will figure out how to get it to do all that fancy crap, but speaking of Weights, I ordered some from WOOT, and they should arrive today… And Yes, IT"S TOO DAMNED HOT IN TEXAS to work out much right now. Just barely got lawn mowed b4 some blessed rain. Which brings Mosquitoes…Oh Well.
Nice shout out to Ingress today in the description! Currently participating in the Aegis Nova anomaly in San Diego, so that’s awesome timing on your part!
Edit : I just saw that ingress protection code is something completely different. I’m a fool.
Bought one so I can weigh The Oracle Cat. Our bathroom scale is not portable. The Oracle Cat does not like to be inside. She also doesn’t like to be picked up. She does like to climb on things and sit on the top, and she likes towels. If I put the scale at the right place, with a comfy towel, she won’t be able to resist it.
The Oracle Cat used to live in the woods behind our property. Just like the oracles in ancient Greek plays, the Oracle Cat would tell me very important things. Just like the characters in the plays, I would never understand what the oracle was telling me.
I saw this first thing this morning and felt pretty ‘meh’ about it. I stepped on our scale this evening and somehow gained 32 lbs overnight. I said something to my husband and he said, “Oh good! It’s not just me.” We figure the poor thing committed suicide from our abuse. The funeral will be tomorrow; please send cookies in lieu of flowers.

Weighing in on this deal
Heavy decision, not to be taken lightly
@AttyVette Glad I weighed in and bought the last scale they had for sale.
@AttyVette I’d buy it, but all my currency is in pounds, and my wallet is a little slim
@AttyVette On a scale of 1 to 5 I’d rate this deal a 3.
Warning: May contain more anal than ysis.
@curtise You’re thinking of the goatse body analysis scale.
can’t do it. my ex-wife’s name is taylor, and the thought standing on her hits areas better left unexplored… tho it might be worth $14 to accidentally drop it out the window.
@alacrity What if it were Taylor Swift you were thinking of instead? You can analyze to your heart’s content.

Thanks for the reminder I need to start hitting the weights!
I will weight for a better deal tomorrow.
Nice item, but I bought the withings model a couple years ago.
Oh my god the blinking eyes! Very freaky, @kylethephotoguy.
Holding off for one that will calculate my ingress protection code.
I’m scaling this one.
@tmwest87
Lying bastids! I won’t have one in my home!
I get weighed once a year at the doctor’s office, fully clothed & wearing shoes so that takes 10 pounds off right there. I’m fine.
I got one last time they sold this. I way so little it literally would not read anything but my weight.
I think the other one seems nicer too, it was $14

/buy -q 1
Body fat up to 65% and water down to 20%?
I guess they designed it to handle things other than humans, huh?
@baqui63 It worked! Your order number is: crappy-huge-roof

Good job @mediocrebot!
@baqui63
Dear meh, please sell something more along the lines of “miracle weight loss”, rather than today’s item, which constantly reminds me how fat I am…
Actually checked the features list to see if it had a Bluetooth speaker, because that’d be just crazy enough for me to consider it. Does that mean I have Stockholm Syndrome?
Unfortunately, no. Meh’d.
Taylor Body Analysis Scale
@awk insert analyze joke here ^^^^
@mike808 also detects the amount of tears dropped and boyfriends lost
@tmwest87 Sorry, can’t count that high; capacity’s only 400

@currawong its to mess with the price match fraudsters and sell to retailers at different pricing without violating fair trade and advertising laws.

With all my body weight I meh’d the hell out of that button. I urge all you mehtizens to do the same.
Ah, fuck it.

Good job @mediocrebot!
I wonder if Walmart would price match this? Not that I would have any desire to step into a Walmart unless I absolutely had to.

Here’s a protip for all of you and a good reason to get this scale: you can weigh your poo.
Not by placing it on the scale, mind you. Here’s how: you take your weight before and after doing the deed and subtract, of course.
Does meh still give away items if you have a good application idea but no dough? I want to weigh my poo.
@copperx Would anyone like to buy my “lightly used” scale?
@copperx So not only could it calculate your BMI but also your BME - bowel movement enormity.
Ha ha this is hilarious
. If I were meh, I would give one away to you for sure!
Hey @meh, text me in September and I’ll buy one then. That’s when I plan to get my lazy ass back to the gym. It’s too damn hot right now.
@vanslaterco no.
@meh Oh, okay, thanks.
@vanslaterco gyms are air conditioned. September is for outdoor activities.
No more excuses! Hit the weight room that smells the most like ball sweat!

I’m stepping on. My current bath scale looks a whole lot nicer than this one, but it’s 10+ years old and the anal ysis part doesn’t work anymore.
@timmyboy1 It worked! Your order number is: maximum-carbonated-lumber

@mediocrebot this ale must have some hints of oak with a woody finish?

@phb Yeah. I’m pretty sure my ex was an IP01.
Also, hope you had a blast at the anomaly.
