This book just used the phrase "played [his] butt cheeks like bongos."

I refuse to be the only person in the world cursed with this knowledge.

Just look at these perfect puffy clouds, y'all.

I'm not sure what kind they are technically- cumulus? nimbostratus? Stratocumulous?

Therefore, I'm sticking with perfectly puffy and white.

@FlashMobOfOne nice work! It makes me hungry just to see that, if I'm honest

I was wondering why my quads weren't sore after doing heavy squats yesterday.

Apparently I just hadn't used them yet. Did one squat in today's workout, and there it was.

4 rounds
Run 400
15 goblet squats

It hurt. The running was onto the window on the way back, too. At least there was some sun

@FlashMobOfOne I feel like I have really lost conditioning. I did cut back on the amount of walking I was doing last year to heal from injuries, which could be part of it.

It could also just be a busy couple weeks and not making the best food choices. I should crawl myself back into the good food train

Just did a 5k on the hotel elliptical. While I'm happy I moved, I do have to complain about the complete lack of changing elevation/resistance on the "rolling hills" program. Felt more like a stair well.

Maybe it's not that I've lost my confidence in my ability to solve problems. Maybe it's that I'm so exhausted from solving problem after problem after problem that I didn't choose that I can't spare any for problems of my own

I automatically started counting the pause between lightening and thunder last night as a storm rolled through.

It made me wonder if that's common in places where you measure in kilometers instead of miles.

The rough math here is that a storm is about a mile away for every 5 seconds between them.

Can anyone recommend an online store to buy mending supplies, like a darning egg and speedweave loom? I don't really have a local place these days

Oops! Forgot to add I'm in the US for shipping purposes.

@FlashMobOfOne ugh. It’s rough to be the one adulting

It’s looking like a scarf! #knitting #WIP

I really want to stop those fuckers from stealing my joy and energy. They don’t get to do that.

(Which fuckers, specifically, is kind of irrelevant. And they’re a rotating cast of characters)

@FlashMobOfOne @wheeljack I’ve been trying to figure out if a foot injury is actually healing or if the cold weather just means I haven’t worked out enough to notice it hurting

I work out way too much to experience this much difficulty opening a jar of salsa!

@wheeljack I am consoling myself by remembering that I fried my grip strength yesterday with all those deadlifts

@FlashMobOfOne ha! I would say it worries me so much specifically because I work in tech.

Honestly, though, it’s the business models that bug me, not the tech tools

@FlashMobOfOne also, I’m a huge cranky pants in the entire topic and probably not the person with the most reasonable perspective.

@FlashMobOfOne @aronow I see a big difference in having my employer know what I’m doing on their work device/on their behalf and an unknown third-party.

I also know that companies like Zoom and MSFt have rules about how that data is handled (although who knows if it is followed)

@FlashMobOfOne @aronow I suspect the Fedi is more cautious about AI note taking tools than much of the world, fwiw.

I would worry about what topics the note taker is recording- you’re probably not talking about anything super confidential in an interview, but...

The only good thing to say about today’s workout is that it was over fast.

4 rounds of
15 kettlebell ground to overheads
60 seconds of sprinting on the elliptical

I actually like ground to overheads, but breathing was not easy after the first set.

Lift weights faster, I guess
