Has anyone done this with Genghis Khan. Or maybe hitler?

It wasn’t easy getting into that routine. I get up at 4:30 for my weekday walk, and it takes about an hour. Weekend walks start at 5:00am, and generally take 1.5-2 hours. Gym is two hours, once or twice during the week and both weekend days. Life still gets in the way sometimes, and I am lucky that my job is flexible. For example, I started work at 6:30 this morning and will knock off at 2:30 and go straight to the gym. I will be home before 5:00.

The alternative was living with the results of an injury and letting my health deteriorate further than it already had. Some days, motivation is still hard.

Walk 5km a day during the week, and 8-10km a day on weekends. Weights three to four times a week, and a cardio session afterwards. I like using the ski machine, as it gives me a serious workout without any impact.

Weights has had a huge impact on my quality of life, as I am recovering (recovered?) from a serious head injury. I was not active for nearly 18 months and am feeling good about my body for the first time in years.

58m here for context.

I would argue that they are the equivalent of third generation wealth. Second generation saw how hard their parents worked and understood the effort it took to get there.

Third gen were well off their whole lives and took it for granted. Rebelled against previous generations values and thought they knew better.

You just had a birthday didn’t you? Turned 40? Grumpy old man…

Once again, wrong forum. I am atheist. There are no gods. No divine plan. When we die, we just end.

If you need more than that, then live your truth. Just leave me out of it.

Stop trying so fucking hard

Yeah, I know the statistics. My crash I spoke about was off road, on private farmland, riding my enduro bike. I do ride on road, as well as on closed circuits when I can, but two wheels is no longer my only form of transport. I used to do over 100,000 km a year on road, on various motorcycles. Now it’s closer to 15,000.

I understand the risks. I also know what it does for me and my mental health.

I’ll never give it up. Well, unless I’m a danger to others.

Late 50’s and always been fit. I had a crash on my motorcycle (off road, went over the bars) which took three weeks to recover from. Serious bruising to both legs as they caught on the bars. Had trouble walking for three days. Limped for over two weeks. Still got legs that range from yellow to purple.

Finally figuring out that my teen years are behind me. Now reconsidering buying a Ducati desmo450mx. Might have to be a fucking golf cart instead.

I bet it listens to everything around it, collates the data and feeds back relevant, targeted advertising. In ultra HD of course

Enshittification is a well documented and understood concept

I would coat it. The timber will hold stains and look dirty pretty quickly if you don’t

Difficult to tell. I need a close up to see whether it is a spatuloon or a spoonula.

I left reddit a little over two years ago. The API debacle was the end, though I had been mostly offline for a few months prior.

The fediverse has only gotten better since. However, this is my fourth account. I joined vlemmy, which disappeared overnight, then lemm.ee, which shut down recently, then another instance which wasn’t for me, and now reddthat. I also signed up for hexbear after a few beers, forgot my password, haven’t been able to contact the mods, didn’t use an email address and haven’t been able to get back in since.
