I can’t reach the mute button, managed to get the volume just low enough I can only hear it in the quiet times.

All words are made up, boomer.

Die, I suppose.

As someone who never expected to become a gym rat I second this.

I started lifting as a purely whimsical decision with a mate and some dumbbells in his backyard.

I’ve now been a powerlifter for 6 years (minus a year due to work related injury) and it’s truly my happy place, am I sad? (Stronger) Am I angry? (Stronger) Am I happy? (You guessed it, stronger).

Not only does lifting grow your body, but also your mind. I may have permanent function loss, but I work around it, and I’m building back (slowly) and stronger than before.

Hardest part is getting started, followed by keeping with it.

My DMs are also open to those who are unsure where/how to start.

Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.

Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

I’ve been listening well above recommend levels for years, I’ve done work operating industrial machinery and my hearing tested among the best for my age. Just use hearing protection, and don’t go nuts on the volume.

I’m coast-born but live inland, can’t remember my last beach trip, likely overdue …

Most people can’t be trusted operating a ground-dwelling vehicle, I’m fine with not having flying ones yet.

Poorly, I left for a reason.

I highly doubt it is, but is it still going? I miss that so much.

Peace pipe or death sentence, either way, someone has a good time.

I finally let my phone do some app updates the other week, my banking app now displays full screen ads for their credit cards, conveniently right as you go to click the transfer button.

I don’t update shit anymore. I update my OS and apps on my desktop, but my phone is now being actively neglected in regards to app updates. Every single app update breaks something, removes a feature, or brings ads into the picture.

Butt, farts are funny!

A multitude of fuckups.

I thought exactly the same thing, as previously though, I was willing to swallow the $8 (at the time) in order to use my tablet for coding (may as well be a laptop running android tbh).

That’s fucked up, it was $8AUD when I got it like a year ago. Fuckin corpos and their price hikes.

I was happy to swallow it to code on the go, but I only used it for a few weeks. Sometimes I lay in bed to code though so I can watch TV as well (never mind all the errors I make as a result).

I’ve got a Lenovo P11, goes pretty well on a charge, and VSCode is available on android, haven’t used it much as I almost always code at home now.

I was going to say something along similar lines, once the borders are ordered shut, you’ll have a much harder time getting out of dodge, not impossible, but much, much harder.

Very unusual.

Can confirm, had a friend rent a room in a house I was staying in (privately rented from the owner) after months of issues, he was given a glowing referee from myself and the owner, and swiftly ejected from the house. Guarantee it got him out the door a shitload quicker.
