I am an adult male who goes to the park / beach to play with and practise my levitation wand (flow toy) which is way less “normal” that just juggling.

Aside from the fact that who gives a fuck, it is a public park and anyone who thinks a man juggling is weird is the one with the problem the opposite is actually true in my experience.

The majority of people ignore me and the ones that don’t are genuinely interested in what the fuck I’m doing or how it works. Some people will watch from a distance, some people will engage and ask but no one tells me it is weird.

Go practise your juggling man!

Wow they have a dubstep channel and judging by the last played tracks listed they are actually playing proper dubstep as well as the more commercial american style sound.

No DnB though.

Just share the folder on soulseek. Probably not advisable for any sensitive information though xD

Nice pictures! I love pigeons, they are beautiful underated birds. I have a group of around 30 that regularly visit my garden and chill out (because I feed them xD)

Great news! Mixxx is getting so close to being permanently usable for me and the more work being put in just pushes it closer and closer. Hopefully by this time next year I can fuck off Traktor DJ and more importantly move permanently away from Windows!

In the UK? I doubt it very much. It isn’t beyond possibility but under floor heating really isn’t very prevalent here.

You are in the UK now so the chance of it being underfloor heating is very slim indeed unless you are in a new build from the last 5 - 10 years or so, even then I would doubt it though.

It is probably a combination of the amount of insulation we put in walls, floors and roof spaces along with the fact you downstairs neighbour or neighbours if there is a basement will be using theirs and obviously heat rises.

I know many people here that live in flats above other people that will never switch their heating on and live comfortably.

It is likely that those radiators are your only heat sources coupled with presumably a gas boiler to serve both the radiators and your hot water taps. There will be some kind of controls for it somewhere though, not all systems with have a thermostat in place. My current house has 3 radiators with no thermostat. It is either on or off or you can set time intervals for it to switch on and off by itself but there is no temperature based control.

This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.

I’m just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.

I’m having a lot of fun!

I just picked up Halls of Torment again and ended up some how playing around 10 hours this weekend…it is alright.

Reminds me of chatting in RA2 lobbies and asking people “what is pen10 + pen5?”

Getting a response of pen15 and then swiftly followed by a “user was banned” system message.

This is too vague to give an in depth answer as we don’t know your ultimate goals or your diet as a whole but not eating before working out isnt bad. Some diets such as intermittent fasting involves fasted work outs.

Changing both your diet and work out habits can be hard, especially if you do it all at once which can become demoralising and hard to maintain over the long term.

I encourage you to research different approaches towards your ultimate goal and make smaller changes over time with a view of changing your outlook on food and exercise for the long term and making it stick.

Sorry, should have done so, something like this Nike one.

I believe I currently use a Sondico one which was much cheaper but equally as good as Nike is fairly over priced IMO and you are paying for the logo more than anything.

As someone else mentioned I would recommend a compression type base layer. You can get slightly different thickness ones that will help in different temperatures.

I had a Nike DRI Fit one that lasted for 10 years, and would have lasted me longer if I hadn’t left it on the roof of my car at one point and lost it. You can get far cheaper ones as well though, my current one cost me around £15 and has lasted me 5 years so far and hasn’t stretched out of shape or have any holes in so far and I use it pretty much everyday during the winter ones.

They keep air flowing and move sweet away from your skin to keep you dry as wetness will make you colder.

In my opinion morino wool is one of the worst things I have tried. They make you sweat a lot more, dont move the wetness away from your skin exacerbating the problem and making you feel very uncomfortable and fall apart in no time when compared to compression garments.

I’d say save your expensive wool for some when else.

For other layers I tend to use a cotton t shirt over top the compression layer, maybe two t shirts if it is very cold and then add in things like gloves, something to cover your neck and face and then a wool hat of somekind.

It is always best to be able to remove these layers where possible whilst you are running. In time you’ll find what works with you. I’d often start out with a few more layers for that initial start then once you get going progressively remove stuff until comfortable. I’d always rather be very slightly cold then too warm when running.

Journey - This game brought me to a sort of Zen, it is calm and peaceful and was just a wonderful experience that didn’t out stay its welcome. By the end of it I just felt like I had had a nice uplifting experience.

Fallout games - Yeh this may not seem like an uplifting game experience for most people and I would generally agree but on a personal level I do find them uplifting by the end of them for the following reason. I have always picked up the modern fallout games when I have been quitting one substance or another in the past. There is something about the desolation of the people and the environment within those games with mirrors the desolation I felt withing myself at these times in my life. Working through the stories draws me in and helps me forget about whatever it is my body is telling me I “need” even if it is only for a few hours at a time. Multiple times though these games have helped me get through those feelings and so therefore for me they have a certain uplifting quality, like a weird unexpected safe space.

Nah I’ve never had issues with latency and don’t play anything competitive I’ve always just prefered wired to be honest. My favourite controllers were the wired 360 controllers that got rid of the massive bump at the back and were a really nice weight. I wish they did an official modern wired only version.

Yeh it was the text that was throwing me. I’ve customised my own controllers with different coloured buttons etc before so that part was easily explainable but the text is professionally added and I never knew that was a thing people did (seems like a waste of money to me)

Turns out it is a design labs custom one as per the other responses though. Learn something new every day!

Yeh this one cost me £4 and came with a recharchable battery pack. I’ve always used my controller wired (playing on PC) but now maybe I’ll try wireless!

Cheers man for the reply. Yeh it seems like this is the case I just didn’t know that it was a thing.

I’ve bought coloured buttons and modded my own controllers before but it was the text on the bottom that was throwing me as it has been professionally added! I didn’t know that design lab was a thing :)

Not that I knew of and apparently it is a custom made one as per the other responses. Til

Yeh, it is unfortunstely a micro USB controller but it cost me £4 with a recharable battery pack inside so I’m not gonna complain at all. Just didn’t know where it had come from! Thanks for the reply :)
