Playing Switch games while walking on a treadmill. I always found exercise boring before, but the split controller of the Switch makes it easy to play while walking.

I have found I don’t even notice I’m walking and look forward to it since I’m actually looking forward to gaming.

Dark Souls while walking is the best. I’ve walked about 140 miles in the last month.

Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It’s the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.

In some paintings the face seems more real than everything else.

Netflix DVD delivery did, yes. It’s also shutting down in September, which is sad.

I personally prefer silence over radio.

That’s an excellent pun if that’s what the writer intended, although it would work much better if he hadn’t been so stupid about it.

Everyone here is negative, but I don’t know why cable didn’t die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.

In what way did he qualify as a Master Thief? He stole stuff from an assembly line then posted video about it under his own name. Sounds very non-masterly to me.

Small sticky notes. That allows me to bookmark at a specific sentence rather than just the page.

Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now I’m off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.

Rethinking Thin

The concept of calorie counting works. Just paying attention to how many calories all food has, results in changed behavior. At least, it did for me.

A hug from Agamemnon! Probably ok. No Trojans hidden anywhere within the hug?

75% rye chips. The rest can be whatever

The amount of calories I have burnt in the last year doing housework is surely less than the calories I burnt on a single 10 mile trek on my peloton tread. Clearly others are doing a lot more than I am if it rises to the level of exercise.

Whoa, there are more early ones there than last time I looked. Still missing a bunch, but it’s better.

Lot of star power in this thread!

I’m going to go with George Carlin. Maybe that’s just me wishing I was that witty though.

I always wanted to see the first season of Portal. Lots of story I missed out on. Is that available anywhere?

I understand the downvotes, but that law really needs reforming. The labels need to say in what way it can cause harm. I remember seeing a piece of wood (pressboard) labelled as carcinogenic at Home Depot. I couldn’t figure out what that meant. Is it ok as long as I don’t burn it? Is it bad to breath near it? Is it only dangerous if I eat it?

Labels need to be more specific about possible dangers.

Why did we stop wearing hats? I love top hats.

Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I’d back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.

It’s easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It’s the dark souls of source control, except it’s not really fun. It’s just a very beginner unfriendly tool.
