my smart watch tracks my poor fitness and whatnot (I use it for the heart and ox monitor). Suddenly, for the first time, it buzzed to tell me FITNESS AGE DECREASED: 48! as if that's a huge win, yay me.

I'm 46 tho.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
