There's a baseball field in Hagåtña with a sidewalk going all the way around it. Every evening there's at least a dozen people walking/jogging/running laps on it, and it's got all kinds of folks.
yeah running/jogging usually isnt common in rural places
people that work for a living don't usually do cardio on the side. Its more of a "I sit in a desk all day so I'm going to go run for 40 minutes and pretend that makes me healthy"
@johnp Yeah, but people who are actually serious about that sort of thing know it's a high-level specialty and isn't relevant to the majority of people who are just exercising.
The nasty bits are folks who know enough to be snotty about it but haven't thought hard enough about it to come through the other side.
Just keep trying things and find what you enjoy. Could be hiking, bicycling, running, lifting weights, yoga, boxing, rock climbing, etc... there's all sorts of stuff and all of them come second to diet
two days a week I go to a commercial gym now. Most people there are more about looking good. There's this one tall guy that was acting like a jerk to me for no reason. He just kinda acts that way and only talks to the people who look like they've been bodybuilding for years... I don't really let it get to me. I'm not training to for appearance and no matter how fit that guy gets he'll still have a shitty personality
kayaking is a lot of fun. I've been wanting to try stand up paddle boarding. Always been kinda nervous about SCUBA but lately ive been thinking about trying that too a little
Most early SCUBA injuries come from either the student or the instructor ignoring the concerns of the other, and later on it's about the diver getting cocky and dismissive of safety precautions.
(My dad was a master instructor trainer, meaning he taught people how to teach SCUBA. He also taught night diving and cave diving, gave week-long tours on remote islands, and had a reputation for teaching the unteachable--like the severely hydrophobic, or a guy paralysed all down one side of his body.)
@BESW first I've heard of it but it sounds interesting
I have an evernote subscription but I'm gunna cancel it as they've increased their fee. Assuming you don't want to use Microsoft's Onenote, there are many similar open source apps you can use instead
One use I'm thinking of is having all the PDFs for my collected 300+ RPG systems on a USB stick, and using TiddlyWiki for sorting and notations.
Once I know what game I want, I can retrieve it easily enough. The challenge is in, for example, saying "I want a one-shot premade horror adventure, but I don't care what system." The way I'm set up right now, I'd have to go to every system folder and check if it's got a pre-made horror adventure.
And with TiddlyWiki I think I could also cross-reference it with campaign notes to see if there's any ideas I've had which could apply, or any existing campaigns we could pick up.
Like, say I have a folder for a client, and three folders inside that one for each job I've done for the client, and multiple folders in each job folder for various resources, paperwork, etc.
If I want to tag everything in the client folder and all its subfolders with the CLIENTNAME tag, I have to enter each folder and select all the files in that folder.
There's no ability to tag down into subfolders by selecting the main folder.
Or I brute-force it by selecting the client folder and doing a "." search to get all the files in a search window so I can select them all.
So if I'm going to have to handle every file individually anyway... I might as well go for something which rewards me for that individualised attention, like TiddlyWiki where I can also make custom notes on each file as the whim strikes me.
(And it'd let me retain the organisational structure across operating systems.)
one thing i dont like about the main note apps is the syncing of creative ideas to faceless cloud services.... it's likely all this data will be skimmed to further all this AI or neural network software
yeah, for me the only thing that puts me off that is markup text, it looks almost too diy for me lol. if simplenote would just add image support id go with it
i know it's vain, but in years to come, id die if some software could filter a photo to create a johnp illustration lol
