I try to train 3 days a week. Simple compound body weight movements are my personal focus. So pullups, dips, squats. Then accessories to compliment muscle groups. Bicep curls, tricep push downs and/or lateral raises, and Romanian deadlifts respectively. Lastly core is important for your overall health and stability so sneak that into your workouts.

I priorotize walking to most places if I am able, keeps staying active easier than dedicating time to running. However, sprints are a really great athletic movement so don’t be afraid to find a field and do sprints or something explosive like it.

As for diet, there’s no real counting anything for me. I typically just prioritise getting proteins on my plate then veggies and complex carbs. Try and cook your food yourself rather than eating out and you’re 90% of the way to your goals! The rest is consistency and effort.

As for local plants I’m not sure if there’s anything special but growing your own food does seem to taste better in my opinion!

Unless they regularly carry very large coconuts, I’m not sure it will be strong enough

Thank you very much, I appreciate the insight.

Thanks that is very reassuring.

I guess even if you are a stomach sleeper your feet are still towards the foot. Maybe this is best.

I would say the foot is the Stern and the head the bow I guess. Just to stay with a sort of head being the front of something and foot being the tail end.

Working at a gas station, most of the truckers that came in would call me “boss” or “chief” which I thought was funny. Like “thanks boss” or “how’s it going chief”. Not sure its for everyone but its certainly neutral in my eyes.

As long as you can keep busy that way it is fine to have those jobs with downtime! The challenge arises when, for example, the workplace doesn’t allow personal cellphones on site or in the work area. Or perhaps there is an expectation to look busy all the time so you don’t have the leisure to read or write. I’ve had the luxury to have a job where I can relax a fair bit and have some enjoyable free time with your pastimes listed above.

My previous job was at a workplace with no useable internet, poor cellular signal, and no phones allowed while working policy. Very strict to always be doing something to look busy but when there is nothing to do it gets dreadful.

Looking forward to others experiences on this!

I was grading seed at a grain processing/storage facility for a few years and it had enough down time during the evenings to do any schooling. I managed a full-time pre calculus to shore up my post secondary education requirements. My coworker ended up going back to college for programming and did a lot of his work on the afternoon shift. Our schedule was a 6am-2pm with little down time, and then an afternoon shift from 2pm-10pm with way more free time.

In my case, you didn’t have as much down time as some other quieter jobs but they paid ~$30 an hour so there’s value if you are looking for some extra cash. No prior experience required.

There was a 12hr night/day rotation for other parts of the facility where you’d swap every few days and get a week off somewhere in the mix but that schedule wasn’t for me.

For myself, my provider is online only so there’s no need to call anyone. I end up just browsing the website once in a while or whenever I recommend them to someone. Beats having to hound a company and sit on hold forever when the online providers are what you see is what you get. Not to mention having to pay attention to contract expiry so your bill isn’t randomly high one month.

Platypus would be cool, or African land snails

First a gameboy advance with three separate games, Tekken, sonic, and f-zero. Then Nanosaur on a very old mac my dad had and his Sega Dreamcast with a few dozen titles. I still think they’d be fun to revisit today!

Any translation of “The Divine Comedy” should be atleast interesting! Possibly the best feat of poetry of our time.

Back when I was an edgy teen, the saga of Darren Shan and the adjacent content of the Demonata were good as far as I can remember. I don’t know if it will hold up for a more mature audience despite that being the demographic.

Tacking onto this, I recall a Climate Town episode where he discussed which bank you decide to use matters. Oil companies’ biggest donors are banks that get to loan out your money.

I think Clobbopus is pretty great!
