  • Check out the local gym anyway- you’d be surprised how many people are there packing a bit of extra weight. There’s also a high likelihood they’ll have some basic gym equipment, so you get a bit of a two-for-one deal in that regard. It’s also way easier to meet and chat with people than your typical gym.










  • I would allow that company to sell poison.

    But I would not allow them to market it as health food.

    If a party campaigns on far right ideals, and get elected, then fair enough, that’s democracy. Sometimes you have to admit that your views are not wanted.

    However, if a far right party campaigns on truth and love and free kittens for everyone, then instead is shown to be liars and haters and give out free guns, then I would have an issue.





  • Formula 1 races average about 200kph, with a top speed of 375. These are the best of the best professionally trained drivers in multimillion dollar equipment tailored to them and designed to keep them (and others) safe at those speeds.

    300km/h on the highway is essentially suicide by stupidity, not to mention manslaughter for whoever you hit. You are travelling fast enough that you literally don’t have time to react to something several hundred metres in front of you.

    150 is really fast, 200 is stupid fast, and 300 is really fucking stupid fast.




  • I’ve just recently settled after a nomadic period, I spent almost 12 months on the road, using just my phone for the majority of the time. I ran a cloud server for all my hosted apps, movies, budget, cloud storage and such. Configuring that was a bit of a pain but with the right tools not too bad.

    I did go to an internet cafe once, I had a lot of text entry/editing to do. Surprisingly hard to find.

    I was staying with family for a bit without much to do, so I picked up an SSD and installed an OS on that. Got me some good idling time.

    Somewhat related, I’ve got so much rollover data from my phone plan that now I’m settled, I’ve just been hotspotting from my phone for home internet.


  • If I haven’t had my daily coffee yet, then a cafe latte. If it’s a decent coffee place (barista with fashionably tight jeans, arm tattoos, possibly wearing a Ramones shirt) I’ll go for a piccolo. If it’s a really good coffee place (barista with waxed moustache and/or ironic neck tattoos) then I’ll get a macchiato.

    For an evening occasion, I’ll generally have a non-alcoholic cider, while debating with people around me whether that’s just the same as sparkling apple juice.
