A bench, adjustable dumbbells and a pullup bar will get you there. Lots of home/garage gym information out there. And then there is body weight training, yoga etc if you don’t want to work with weights.

But then there is the motivation and discipline factors. For me it is easy to put on a workout video but also easy to not really put in any effort. I’m bad at holding myself accountable at home. So instead I go the gym. One should also never ignore the social aspect of hitting the gym even if you seal yourself off with headphones and never talk to anyone. You do become part of the group/scene. And if your gym offers them I will recommend classes.

Isn’t that buying american(s)?

I feel called out. Why do you call me out in such a mean way? I may shed a tear. But please look at my arms as I wipe it off [flexes]

The beavers went like

“Fuck you, we’ll make our own dams. With natural filtration and spacious habitats”

Pens! I guess. Probably also have free coffee/tea/hot chocolate so fill up on that. Cookies?

Hear me out, tinfoil hat on. Grok is doing precisely what it is supposed to do, to leave a trickle of treasonous information about trump so that when musk dissolves the government the “facts” are already out there.

Opens criminal investigation. Does “investigation”, finds no fault. Blasts out the Tates have done no wrong, Romania bad. Suggests Papa Putin take over and reform Romania.

I can attest to this. May not be the sleekest but you can often sit on them with no worries. And drop them in gravel.

Something I never really got from the summaries on the research is how much training increase they looked at. And what type. I bet going fron 0 to 30 minutes a day would look different than the span 0-120.

Do you BTW have a link to the paper?

Last i saw on this is that there isn’t a 1:1 relation between increased calorie burn by increased exercise and total calorie burn. There are some but also the body diverts energy from one task to another. Still the best way to loose weight, maintaining a calorie deficit, is to eat less. Way easier said than done.

If I expect the mushrooms to release a lot of water then them first. If the mushrooms are much larger pieces than the onions then them first. Else both at the same time cause I’m lazy.

Beans are small eggs. Beans are cheap. Therefore eggs are cheap. Eternal lord-god emperor trump fixed the egg cost. Praise be.

I prefer -esk as it is less refined. A bit crude. Vulgar.

I prefer keelhauling. An awesome word, feels good to pronounce. Like defenestration.

Everyone who is surprised raise your hand.

Well OK then. Capitalism gotta Capitalism

Resurrection by erection?

From old timey union fight songs (ex Workers of the world, Awaken) to protest rock. The Swedish band Nationalteatern have a great banger “Staten och Kapitalet” about that the state and the capital sit in the same boat, but it is not those who row and the whip does not lick their fat necks.

My go to is dynamic exercises that forced you to stabilise the core. Kettle bell swings (including one handed variants), halos, around-the-world, atlas swings etc. Thus combined with mobility drills from the hip (where many back muscles start) and up takes for me care of any after work pain.

Not diminishing the effects of stronger back muscles but the stretch and decompression of the spine in the hang part does it’s part. I love that bit, just hanging there getting stretched from arms to arse.

Still decent bands out there? Oh bloody gosh there are! Let me just give you two, if not we’ll be here until dawn. There is Icelandic Misþyrming and Finnish Havukruunu. Both leaning a little bit into more atmospheric soundscapes rather than the “pure” low-fi dissonance black metal is known for. Their whole libraries are worth listening to and searches gives you quality starting points.
