Rice Krispie treats only with Golden Grahams instead and a layer of chocolate on the bottom. (I.e. S'mores)
I've never been one to think of cars as more than machines. That was until I bought my 340i during COVID. It was the first time in my life I bought exactly the car I wanted. I love Raven and have grown very attached to her. Which makes this SUPER painful. Really hoping they'll fix her.
In a win for @ubiquiti.bsky.social, I found out yesterday that my neighbors cut my fiber line while installing a new fence TWO MONTHS AGO. Thanks to the WAN redundancy/load balancing in my Dream Machine, I didn't even notice. Obviously I need to setup some alerting.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I'll always think of Sam Neill as Capt. Borodin. And I'll never not be sad when his character gets killed. "I would like to have seen Montana"
#HackerFit Day 200 Holding steady at 26 pounds lost, very happy with my body weight and appearance, fitness is good. I do have to get myself back in the gym now to get a good lifting regimen going.
#HackerFit update 4.3 mile walk in 90 degree and 80%humidity weather.
#HackerFit update Working to get the consistency back. Definitely lost a bit of fitness having not worked out while I was out of country
A reminder: for many, asking for help is hard. Pay attention to your friends/family. If they're going through something, no matter how sure you are that "they've got this", know that they may not just need help, they may be desperately hoping you offer it without them asking.
#HackerFit update After 9 days off, it was a tough one getting back to it. Average hr above 150 confirms how I felt. Glad to be back at it following my trip.
Nice touch sent to my room this morning. Although now I'm debating, do I light the candle and blow it out all by myself or just skip that formality? 🤣
#HackerFit update Lots of walking today and a bike ride tonight.
Thinking of the people who told me this threat was overblown, how Apple was doing things to keep people safe. Note this example, even with those safeguards, the women had their home and work locations exposed. I get airtags are handy, but I loathe their existence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tv9...
#HackerFit Update Keeping with the multiple exercise theme, another long walk plus bike workout. Definitely feeling it in my legs tonight.
#HackerFit Day 175 Short walk followed by a high intensity ride. Turned a 40 minute route into a 32 minute ride. Triple PR and quadruple green jersey ride.
Flew out to Madison this morning for WisCon. Currently listening to @secureideas.bsky.social keynote on building a better community in security. Oh yeah, and I'm presenting at 12:30 today too!!
Well after two unplanned days off from #HackerFit courtesy of stupid Las Vegas hotels, got back to it tonight with some gusto.
