  • As a child, has to be Diablo 2. I had no idea what I was doing but I had fun. And it got me into reading, actually. I read some books now and then, but wasn’t an avid reader. But when I played Diablo 2, I found out there are books from the Diablo world and got one. I remember when I got home I was like “ok, since I got the book I will read one chapter and then go to playing” - well I didn’t turn on the PC for 3 days until I have finished the book. And then went to get more.

    Another was World of Warcraft (though I was not exactly a kid by then). It made me fall in love with MMOs, a genre which I still love (though no game holds me today quite as WoW did - still hope for one though). And thanks to it I got to know people I’m friends with to this day.

    Yes, these are pretty common in my area. There are hiking groups that maintain them, they are marked IRL too and are great to orient yourself (the marked trails are color coded so you know to stick to blue until you encounter red and continue on red path for example). Also makes it easier to plan routes andsee how to get to some landmarks. In some places, like National Parks, you it may even be mandatory stick to those and not go on unmarked trails.

    So I guess those are indeed different things. Well that at least clarifies stuff for me. Hiking trails are all the various paths that are in the forest, and hiking routes are the marked ones.

    Well thing is OSMand does have the trails and I can enable them in map view.

    Maybe there is just misunderstanding on my side (I’m not an English native speaker)? I mean these official marked hiking paths. OSMand calls them “hiking routes” so I guess that’s a different thing to trails?





  • I would if I could. A plank and a side plank were one of them. Other than that, no idea as I was shown the excercises, but was never really given names. And even then, I don’t live in English speaking country so might not be useful anyway.

    It was mostly about strenghtening the core and stomach muscles, without straining the back much.

    Not sure about pain levels. First time around, it was quite bad. I just suddenly couldn’t move, everything hurt so bad. Not quite blacking out pain but it was bad. I first did like one or two weeks of intensive back muscle stretching to be even able to do the other excercises. Currently the pain is not bad, but it is making my life dificult a bit as it blocks some movements.


  • I started experiencing this after 30. In my case it’s back muscles tightening up, because of bad posture that lead to the weakening of the core muscles which put too much strain on the back.

    Got shown some excercises and got better after a while. Got back every once in a while, but usually I managed to get it under control.

    Just got back again and wouldn’t get away for weeks now. Sounds a lot like what you have. I’m going ti schedule the doctor again, I recommend you do the same. This shouldn’t be normal.
