Thanks for the info!
I actually know a bit about low-inflammation diets (mostly low meat and being selective on carbs) from when I was running track. I always saw it as a high-performance thing, but some habits have stuck around. And for a long time I’ve done Meatless-Mondays since it’s an easy and mostly thought-less thing to do.
Thanks!! Just did a bunch of insulin research and added key takeaways to my notes. I’m pretty great at getting good sleep, and work has finally started to slow down making my life feel far less stressful
Thus far, I’ve been pretty un-safe when it comes to mountain biking. Lot’s of little crashes that could have been easily avoided. Fortunately I hate crashing and have been working on risk analysis and I don’t think I’ll lose out on much fun by being 20% safer. I’m currently down-tuning one of my bikes to make it less capable so that it’ll be more fun on simpler trails. With a super capable bike, it sometimes feels like you have to ride the gnarliest things to be having fun. Riding a gravel bike (the least capable of the off-road bikes) on one of my least favorite boring trails was eye-opening to me on how fun “under-biking” is. And any speed decrease increases safety a lot.
I sprained both my wrists in a bike crash, then just as they were nearly healed I crashed again and sprained just my left wrist. After like 9 months it was still bothering me a bit so I decided to go to physical therapy and the exercises cleared everything up in ~3 weeks. Wish I’d known earlier that a brace and limiting movement wasn’t actually helping anything.
I’ve got the supplements, just need to work on making a habit of taking them…
Little bits throughout the day are probably better than lots once a week
I sit at a desk a TON. Started having back problems and was trying to work in exercises to help. What ended up working for me is an hourly notification that gives me a random exercise to do. I’ll usually do a few other exercises with each break as well. It’s been a miracle for my back, and definitely is something I plan to stick with - and should be good for arthritis too it seems!
Great info, thank you!! I’m compiling the things I’ve learned to make a personal list of things to try to add more of to my life, and things to try and have less of. I’m starting to realize that diet isn’t something to ignore just because I’m fit…
Great info, thank you! Adding it to my notes.
I’d buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy
As a teen, I once went to open the microwave but the handle wasn’t attached, it just lifted off. I think one of my siblings broke it and then placed it back carefully. Half my family was in the room when I lifted the handle off and to this day they don’t believe me that it offered 0 resistance and that someone else might have broken it. We kept that microwave for years after that and just had to pry it open with finger nails.
My dad tried to get me to fly out to his place in California to fix his printer issues once. I live quite a few states away. He didn’t even offer to pay or anything, he just was like “you haven’t visited in a while and I really need your help, please come soon.” I told him to call the geek squad.
Less YouTube
Magic cards Edit: did not get any magic cards. Got some cash though so I may head over to my LGS later this week
I was biking near campus in a bike lane and an old truck matched my speed (maybe 15mph) and then the truck came into my lane a little so I slapped the side to make noise. The passenger was a girl and her window was down so I yelled something and she looked back at me a face that I can only describe as “I don’t want to be here” but then she looked forward again and I noticed the driver was looking over his shoulder at me with a big smile. Anyway, he forced me off the side of the road and I rolled to a stop in some grass and was totally fine, just shocked that someone would do something so reckless. He easily could have bumped me and I could have ended up under a tire. The truck then shot off (in a 25 zone).
This is why I lose in Magic the Gathering so much. I’ll be like “wow what a combo, I could go on but this is mean enough.” And then two turns later I lose to a mean combo. I don’t think it’s actually mean, the goal is to win. I just think it can be more fun to not have huge plays, even if that results in more losses.
Game: Halo 3 Book: The Kingkiller Chronicles Movie: Harry Potter series (yes, I hate Rowling, but I can’t move on yet) Show: Doctor Who. Been rewatching nuwho with my wife and it’s like I’ve become insatiable for more. Been reading the books, comics, and audio plays. Gonna try Torchwood after
Cycling
I started biking to work after we moved closer and next thing I know I’m into mountain biking and have built 2 bikes
Years ago I finally nuked my Windows dual boot after one of their updates broke it. I still remember my laptop booting into Windows and being so confused. Haven’t missed it once.
Crazy! I have a similar ish story. Girlfriend and I went to the bird refuge at night to smooch in the car and a truck pulls up behind us, after a minute we decide to leave and they follow. Very rural area. The truck passes and then stops in front of us, we go around and then it’s like my life became a videogame. The truck passed again and this time stops more horizontal to block both lanes, I start to go around and they pull forward, I’m able to go around their other side. I had a shitty manual that could do 0 to 60 in like 40 seconds but I felt fast. A few 90 degree turns on the road. Quite a lot happened on the chase, they nearly rear ended me when I tried to not let them pass, turned around after they passed, turned around again later. Told my girlfriend to call the police but she was crying and screaming and didn’t. And then they ran me off the road into a ditch. 2 guys get out of the truck, I get out of my camry and they’re like “who the fuck are you?!!” I yelled it back at them. They said they’re looking for some person who wasn’t me. I called them a bunch of names. They towed me out of the ditch. I never told my parents because they were Mormon and I didn’t want to get in trouble for going to the refuge with my girlfriend at night lol. It 100% doesn’t feel like it really happened
To avoid confusion, just say driver and passenger side.
I meant this to be a joke, but if you assume your bed drives forward toward the side with your pillows then it actually works. But if you read in bed with a reading pillow then I guess you probably want to drive your bed toward your feet side of the bed…
Pretty sweet! I’m still trying to learn to wheelie my mountain bike so that I can learn to manual after that…
