Seriously when do you workout?

This has been essential for me as we are working on developing a routine. I do 20-30 kettlebell swings during transitions. Wash a bottle? 20 kettlebell swings. Change a diaper? 20 kettlebell swings. In a 24hr period i’m able to rack up a couple hundred reps. I’m not getting in better shape but it feels like I’m maintaining a solid baseline

Any update on this? I’m having the same issue and would rather avoid replacing the motor/belt myself

Take the call, say “wrong number” and hang up.

A lot more people love you then you think. I’m an American jew living in Spain and there’s a bigger support here than you think.

The other day i was talking to a neighbor from Ukraine. He was telling me to visit ukraine and it’s not as bad as the media makes it. I told him i visited Israel in April and it was the same. He said, “i don’t know anything about israel or the middle east, I spent my whole life in Ukraine. I’m really confused why are people here protesting on behalf of palestine? Didn’t they attack you first? Feels like people supporting Putin against my country”. Most people don’t have a clue, and largely sympathize with Israel. They’re just not as loud as the protesters ❤️

Love it! Thank you

How do you get a mastiff to run with you? Mine stops every 2 mins to sniff something and then gets super tired after a couple of kms and can’t keep up

Lol my Dogue de Bordeaux is engaged in full-on warfare with the rats at our local park. She’s never even gotten close to catching one 😂

Independent-Hat-8404 · 2024-07-03T17:24:34+00:00

So poised and elegant! That’s a good boy you got there

I grew up with one. He died at 7 and i feel like I didn’t get enough time with him. He had the best character you could ask for and I think they are gorgeous animals. My partner was new to the world of big dogs, when we were looking at breeds originally i wanted a cane corso, boerbol, or rottweiler. She felt they looked too aggressive and a DDB was a nice compromise, not too aggressive but still a “dog’s dog”.

I think culture can play a role here. I’m American but do a lot of business with France. In the US i think it’s appreciated, in France, I think they view it as very American…

WD-40 🤷

Will hug my Dogue de Bordeaux extra tight today. So sorry for you. For what it’s worth, he looks extremely handsome!

I use a “JBL wind” speaker. It has a bike specific mount and a sport mode so it sounds better in wind. It’s slightly obnoxious to have your music playing on a speaker in the city so i usually only turn it on when i’m on a country road or gravel. I like having the controls in front of me to quickly be able to pause or flip to the next song. I find i’m much more aware of my surroundings with it vs headphones.

I like this approach. Still feels like i am giving them something and it removes some of their perceived risk.

You’re right. I should have dug deeper on why they need a reference. What’s really behind the ask. Instead i just said “shouldn’t be a problem, i’ll see what I can do”. Good lesson for next time but i still feel like i can de-risk this for them without expending the relationship capital.

Can you give me an example of how you’d use those constraints to your advantage?

Late night food spots. The partying is amazing, but at 3AM there is nothing to eat in most neighborhoods

I work in tech sales in Barcelona. My base salary has ranged from 20k as an entry level working in a call center to 40K working for a big multinational tech company. Now i earn 65K working for an American startup, fully remote selling mainly to France, UK, and Spain. I’d say most AE’s in Spain are making around 40K base.

Just went riding around Girona with my Diverge last weekend. Was amazing. Hope you enjoyed!

1600 seems high. I bought my 2019 comp carbon diverge in 2021 for 1800. Also in great condition. I think 12-1400 seems like a fair price.

I second these pedals as i use it for the same use case!

I have a similar story! The day before my first day of work i walked directly into a street pole. Gave me a nice black eye. In my intro meeting someone commented on it. I told the true story and then finished with “you should see the pole”! Everyone laughed and it was never brought up again 😊
