With a set up to 80 (assuming lbs) you can go a long way. 160lb in dumbbells is a fair bit and can go quite a bit of the way. For the rest of the way single leg focused exercises such as lunges, Bulgarian squats, SL Romanian deadlift, staggered stances, dragon squat etc will do the trick.

This is the silliness that is desired. Our heir apparent have yet to take up her father’s penchant for silly hats. One day I hope.

New custom map for Crusader Kings just dropped?

For me the lack of voice acting isn’t a detriment. Far from it. I much prefer the walls of text to cinematic stuffs.

Always be looking for a new job, you never know when a new boss arrives and makes it horrible.

Pottery class. You are a dirty mess, every one is a dirty mess and y’all have something in common. Plus it is an artistic expression and as long as you are willing to talk about artistic struggles being “bad” isn’t detriment at all. And worst comes to show you now have a new coffee cup.

Replace Pottery with whatever is offered locally.

Home (subscribed) and Local set to Hot

All set to Top Six Hours. When doomscrolling I on occasion set it to either Scaled or Active

Have yet to play it but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous does have some similar themes. If you haven’t looked at it already give it a glance.

Tomato sauce, thinly sliced garlic, red onion

Sauce, (button?) mushrooms, garlic, black pepper

Sauce spiced with harissa, red onion and served with hummus

Sauce, pesto

Walks around town

Bike ride

Gym

Walk along the stream looking at the mallards

Trail running (as soon as I get started with it…)

Park/square bench, filled thermos and something to read

My guess would be that it is much easier to report on some metric and compare that to other metrics compared to content critique.

Or that industry cares more about metrics about profitability than anything else.

And someone will have to go on an Orphic journey to bring back his lost lover.

Europe’s free speech is far more free than the US

But not Europes FREEZEPEACH™! And freezepeach is all that matters

Yes.

Socks in sandals is an almost keelhaulable offense.

Actually not. They quickly dried, took about 5-10 minutes while walking. Sure a little bit slippery at first but somehow that soon turned into even better (sticky) grip.

Played in a creek. Didn’t take shoes off. Was awesome, can recommend.

Not as much reading but I’m taking much of my cues regarding mythology from Red over at Overly Sarcastic Productions (https://www.youtube.com/@OverlySarcasticProductions).

Two related videos
Wrath of Demeter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhhANZKerug
Hades and Persephone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac5ksZTvZN8

What I especially like about their content is that there is plenty of source critique. Things are seldom presented as “this is the exact truth”. Mentioned in the video about Hades and Persephone is “we don’t know the original myth” which I find telling of much of their mythology work.

Demeter is up there.

Her baby father (Zeus), aka the big douchebag, married away her daughter Persephone to his brother Hades. Patriarchy does what patriarchy does. The brothers were aware neither Persephone nor Demeter would approve of the deal so Hades had to kidnap Persephone and force the deal upon her.

So Persephone were abducted and her mother were beyond herself with worry about her absence. Once Demeter learnt about the deal she threw the hissy fit that all hissy fits are measured against. Plants stopped growing, livestock stopped giving birth and the world soon was in a cataclysmic state. Behold a mother’s justified wrath and tremble.

Douchebag-in-chief was forced to negotiate but wouldn’t anull the whole deal. Only that Persephone would spend half her time with her mother (spring, summer) and the other half with the husband forced upon her (autumn, winter).

For me about 10€. At work I have free “coffee” and at home I alternate coffee and tea. For the coffee I’ve found a nice 500g bag of whole brand for 8€ that is my go to.

“Antique” 2€ grinder bought well over a decade ago and french pressing. No expensive equipment.
