Had a bit of knee gyp the other day, not runner's knee kneecap related but on the side maybe IT Band stuff or I've knocked it so taking a few days break from running and did bike today. Never really took the cycling too seriously, more recreation plus exercise, no fueling strategy just water. Could do with adding more strength training tbh but never had a gym subscription. #exercise #running #runstr #bikestr

One of Naval's posts on X was something along the lines of "A true sign of intelligence is getting what you want out of life" which kinda rubbed me up the wrong way when I read it tbh 😂 Define smart though, intelligence manifests itself in different forms.

I recall listening to Szabo & Naval on Tim Ferriss in 2017 but unfortunately still wasted btc on shitcoining, lesson learned.

How does it get delivered? Already split? Green or dried? Loose or in those bulk bags? Firewood is quite expensive in the UK but I guess pre split kiln dried hardwood in bulk bags is a high range product.

Away from all the madness in the world, sounds ideal.

Also, '10% for the big guy' & Hunter's paintings were ameteur hour compared to the Trump clan & Kushner's dealings.

First attempt at a dedicated 5k, looked at the watch with 0.35 miles to go and thought I was going to die but once I'd finished and walked for 5 mins started thinking "That wasn't too bad" 😂 #exercise #running #runstr

2000lb bombs being loaded onto American bombers at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and flying out to bomb Iran, do UK citizens get a say in this - of course not! https://x.com/FurkanGozukara/status/2034627190013239443?s=20

High trust society? Not like the UK and London then where hooded up scrotes cut through bike locks with a 18v cordless grinder/cutting disc throwing sparks and no one intervenes because you'd get arrested if you did anything.

All I see in the UK is construction and building work on greenbelt or farmland. There's an industrial/business park not far from me and they're now expanding it into several acres of previous farmland, the hedgerows and the odd oak trees that separated the fields have all been cut down and bulldozed, want to hear the kicker? A few of the units on the existing business park have laid empty for years. Then there's the sprawling new build housing estates spreading out in every direction of most small towns totally devoid of wildlife and greenery just brick and tarmac with a few square metres of shit lawn and paving for a garden. The amount of speed cameras popping up everywhere is getting kinda crazy as well, not just one or two but several spread out along most routes even B roads that measure your speed from one to the other, if the paedo elites want to roll out their dystopian 15 minute cities - the UK will no doubt be the testing ground. I know wilderness and homesteading is often overglamorised and can actually be a tough life but these new build housing estates are just soul crushing.

There's footage on X of 2000lb bombs being loaded onto bombers and taking off from an RAF base in Gloucestershire.

Didn't care how long it took or how fast I was running as it's about trying to build an aerobic base, the only data feeds displayed on the watch while out were HR & Cadence. There was 682ft of ascent during the run and I wanted to cap my HR at 145bpm so walked on some of the hills, around 3 mins total. Didn't take any water and it was windy af, maybe in better conditions HR could've been lower. #exercise #running #runstr

When I did plumbing stuff full-time, Knipex Cobra (same as your pic) and Bahco Ergo wide adjustable spanner was the combo I used the most, the spanner opened wide enough for 15 & 22mm compression fitting nuts (24 & 32mm across the flats) without being cumbersome like a spanner that opens that wide would usually be or a combination spanner open/ring that would be twice as long, maybe if you were dealing with something seized you may have needed more leverage but it was rare tbh.

Hard to say but sometimes even placebo can give you a boost, just try to get the real thing when it's available 🌞

Total blanket white out day after day, cool crisp but sunny winter days seem like a thing of the past and rare nowadays.

Soak up some of that Vitamin D 🌞

There was a good episode of Grand Designs in the UK some years back where a guy was allowed to build a timber cruck-frame and straw bale house in the woods because he lived and worked there and had to tender his charcoal burns over night. https://youtu.be/_OJbApWoN5E?si=Oucjj601JRTnh59K
