This looks amazing. I’m impressed you even have the little stainless steel containers.
Hey, that’s great to hear! Solid progress ✊ I’m down to about 225-230lb now, so we’re probably a similar size.
I picked up BodyGlide and put it in my thighs to help reduce the friction and that’s helped a lot. Running can offer some embarrassing or nasty pains. People aren’t usually shy about talking about ways to overcome them though!
I’ve been reading and watching videos on “Zone 2” running to build one’s aerobic base. Basically, for non-race runs: slow down. When the heartrate is too high to muster a few sentences while running, you should go slower. I was skeptical, but it’s worked. I guess the heart is a muscle, too, and maybe an important one. So now, every time a new song starts in my headphones, I go through a breathing exercise to take 5 of the deepest breaths I can and semi-slowly release them. It forces my legs to slow their pace.
Sorry for the soapbox moment. I wanted to say good job 👍 keep up the good work. You’ve made solid progress

Hot damn! That looks amazing 🤩
Between the phrasing of the title and the image of her, absolutely yes.
All the HELL IS REAL and anti-abortion billboards too.
The Chicago as a reference point had me cracking up.
Just another 500 miles and I’ll be home!
I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it’s a short list today. I’m not sure what it was when this took place, but it’s probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃
I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.
I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.
It’s pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn’t strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can’t reconcile it. I understand that America isn’t ALWAYS the good guy, and it’s got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don’t get it.
I rented a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander in 2022 and it was amazing how unresponsive it was. It’s a small SUV with the engine of a hamster. It has a “sport mode” that really struggled to get me up some hills in Colorado.
Also, the rubber seal for the door, on 3 of the doors, was constantly feel off and could be worn as a second seatbelt.
Near a previously active volcano in Iceland. Now, it’s probably burned from lava, as the volcano is erupting again.
I signed up to run a half marathon. I have never ran that far in my life.
This links to Reddit, but I can’t even view the article because I’m not logged in. Do you have an alternative link?
I’ve read about a dozen of his works, and probably more if you count short stories. I really enjoy his writing style. I started with the Homeland series and have gone backwards and forwards. His latest work reads similar to Neil Gaiman’s in a sense that I’m hooked and drawn into a new universe. Homeland was EXCELLENT. His earlier stuff is really creative and very detailed. The way he breaks down and describes how tech works is accurate and detailed. He’s got 4 short stories that make up a works called Radicalized that really well describe the awful experience some people get fiscally locked into in tech.
TLDR: yes.
Smithe. It’s Smith with an E. Your source of high quality names.
What a masterpiece 🫰
I’m a spice enthusiast. The level of pain and suffering I received there just before starting my 8 hour drive home from Nashville that day was brutal. 8/10 no regerts
The more expensive Bike+ does it, but not the regular one. It’s a hard sell given the price difference.
