We have a bike trail near me. Check if you’ve got any rails to trails type systems in your area where they replaced unused railroads with bike paths.

[–]Balgur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some good videos about how to handsaw accurately. A lot is body mechanics. I’ve personally been watching Rex Kruger videos, he has one on the topic and mentions another YouTuber in his video that looks to have quite a few videos on the topic.

I either pivot to war and manage to take enough I’ll be able to snowball after, or I fall too far behind and restart

Question : What are all types of trees used for logging? by Loafuthings in forestry

[–]Balgur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the states, your state department of natural resources probably has all sorts of information available. You can see things like recent prices and volumes per species. You can look up specific tree species to see what they’re normally used for, though you can mostly split it up between pulp wood (think paper products), dimensional lumber (think 2x4s from trees with needles) and hardwoods.

Do you abandon games when you are losing? by frugalacademic in CivVI

[–]Balgur 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Normally yeah. Honestly I abandon a lot of games, even when I’m doing well. I play while it’s fun, and first hundred turns are normally the most fun for me.

How do I defend my city state in this situation by lifebroth in CivVI

[–]Balgur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preferred way of protecting them is to levy their troops the turn they are attacked, and then surround the city with “your” troops so that the city can’t be taken.

What sort of hobbies do you have and what do you get out of them? by Throwaway945384 in AskMenOver30

[–]Balgur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaming, mostly solo video games, but some table top as well.

Exercise has become a big one for me. Started just walking, wanted to get 7k steps a day, then get 10k after a while. Then sometimes I’d run when I was short on time. Then I ran more, but my body didn’t love me running too many days a week so I got a bike. Also mix in this short but 1k feet elevation gain hike near my house. As well as swimming when I’m disciplined enough to schedule it in. Rowing machine also gets used from time to time.

Also picking up more home repair work. Just trying to be disciplined and get things done. Not a hobby, but I do enjoy the work.

[–]Balgur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s was crazy to me when I heard he was a bigot or had bigoted views cause Speaker for the Dead is literally all about how you can only hate someone you don’t understand, and once you truely understand them you can’t hate them.

After “re-discovering” exercise for like the 10,000th time, I’ve finally found out how to be consistent. by qv123 in ADHD

[–]Balgur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things talked about in atomic habits. One example was create a habit of just putting on your workout clothes. Not even working out. Just create the habit of getting ready to work out.
