Getting a cold brew setup going at home. It's smoother, less acidic, and allows me to appreciate the different properties of each roast. Since it makes a concentrate, I can vary the strength as needed.

If I'm having iced coffee, the cold foam stuff on top can be a nice change of pace.

Have you ever tried growing your hair that fast? It hurts

Streaks are still going for both exercise (4 weeks) and nutrition tracking (2 weeks)! The latter is very useful because it shows that I'm eating less than I should be.

This app (Foodnoms) adjusts the daily target based on how much energy I expend exercising. The idea is to keep the muscle I have and burn fat, then start building muscle back up once I reach a target weight. I should be more or less hitting the target line, but I'm consistently a bit below. Too severe of a calorie restriction coupled with an over-reliance on cardio exercise can result in muscle loss, and that'll be me soon if it isn't already.

No good! I now have a bunch of nuts, dates, and figs handy for snacks and will aim to go over the calorie goal at least three days per week. Just gotta replace some cardio with resistance training and get things dialed in.

That sounds like a really nice way to be. Do you do time blocking for scheduling activities, or is it more of a checklist for the day?

What a clunker of a rhyme leading up to the chorus. Woof

I stretch my arms and then lay down on top of the sheets fully clothed while carrying my entire inventory of weapons and assorted knickknacks. I sleep for 8.0 hours, just enough to obtain maximum rest bonuses

I almost always have some steamed frozen mixed vegetables as a side. Affordable, healthy, low effort (five minutes microwaved while you make other stuff), and you can make as much as you need to balance out the rest of the meal.

I got a rare 800% match at the end of May. This is my least favorite gacha game

What’s your favorite bearlike/bearlite?

I always believed that Doomguy’s power was a superhuman level of not believing that he had to deal with this shit

A nice ten-minute run (or jog, or even walk) in the morning before showering is so great. Even if the run itself isn't the best, the feeling of being ahead of schedule and energized for the rest of the morning almost feels like cheating.

Thanks for making these threads! It's a great motivation to keep things going.

I've been successfully tracking everything I eat over the past week and fine-tuning my calorie goal. Averaging 1625 kCal per day, on track to burn ~1.5 lbs per week at this rate. I remember the first couple weeks of this process being the toughest, so... fingers crossed.

Some very stubborn shoulder and toe injuries have made hitting my modest daily workout goals difficult, but the three-week streak is still alive (barely)! A TENS device and stretches have been helping with the shoulder pain. If you are young and don't have some level of constant background pain, I am begging you to enjoy it while it lasts.

This week is gonna be about getting the kids moving their bodies outside in the mornings before it gets too hot. I want my oldest daughter to get enough stamina to bike over to her friends' places.

Of ones I’ve tried, Miyoo Mini Plus is excellent if you have any affinity for the Game Boy [Color/Pocket]. There are two great OS options available (MiniUI and Onion) that support the most important function: Sleep Mode that doesn’t drain your battery. It’s not the best form factor for long play sessions, but if you’re looking for some shorter hits of nostalgia, it’s wonderful.

RG35XX is similar and highly regarded, and the new SP form factor seems ideal for tossing in a bag.

To echo others: definitely get your own SD card.

Your developers were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

I’m using Foodnoms which is a nice little iPhone app with one of the best “AI” functions I’ve seen: if a food isn’t in the database, it can take its best guess at the nutritional info.

Mad Max is a good one; it’s really satisfying to take the Magnum Opus from a frame on wheels to a machine of legend. I never did beat it; let us know how it holds up at the end

Thanks for sharing that video; I have a much better understanding of good bird dog form now!

I'm gonna finally complete Astro Bot Rescue Mission and then move on to wrapping up a nearly-finished Cyberpunk 2077. What are you focusing on?
