So my “routine” is to not purposefully exercise at all.

Hear me out.

Working out at gym or just lifting for the sake of exercise drives me crazy. I always want to be accomplishing something or getting something done. So I bike to work twice a week. That’s 18 miles round trip in a hilly area. Great for cardio and legs. I also rock climb with my son twice a week for roughly 2-3 hours. So thats uppwr body and hand strength. Throw in an “active” weekenf life and i get plenty of exercise.

Now diet is the big one. Last year, after some experimentation I removed nearly all sugars from my diet. The calories I would have consumed from straight sugars I replaced with complex carbs (bread, pasta, rice). It was a hard transition to make and I had to teach myself to crave different things. But the result was 40lbs down over one year (205 > 165ish) . I can see my abs (not a super 6 pack or anything) and I get those sexy little hip lines that my wife loves. The one downside is that none of my pants fit and I have to cinch them with belts.

I’m not into dudes, just their dicks.

As a fellow crafty, cooking, mostly straight dude, I’m sorry to hear people calling your generosity and thoughtfulness “gay.”

Just finished this one. And honestly, it broke my brain and how I interpret other written narratives.

2nd on the physical copy. This text doesn’t work otherwise.

This was my introduction to Mieville. What a wild story told through China’s extremely dense language.

…keep a dictionary handy.

The premise for this book was so strange I often had to reread passages to fully understand the differing perspectives of people standing next to one another and yet be in two different realities.

I can’t recommend meshtastic enough. I have 2 radios and I get to chat with other like minded folks over off the grid encrypted p2p 100s of miles away.

This would appear to be my wife’s strategy as well.

Pretty much anything by Birthday Massacre.

I’ve attempted to quicksave a couple of times before parallel parking my truck.

The Witch Creek Fires in San Diego in 2007. I didn’t receive the reverse 911 call and ended up fleeing my building after it was already on fire.

The download and install through desktop mode was pretty easy. The controller mapping is what took a while.
