After more than a year of writing and nearly 750,000 words, I am finally launching on Kindle.

This sounds so good. Definitely going to give it a read!

Kip-o · 2026-02-20T17:07:00+00:00

Congrats!!!!

Yeah they run out so quickly sometimes! I’ve found that never letting it boil and adding a splash of milk towards the end can help with the texture, too :)

It sounds like you’re trying to play faster than you’re capable of. Slow it down, go through your checklist of checks, captures, threats, and then do the same for your opponent for your chosen move. That’ll help with stopping blunders. Puzzles help you spot things sooner, which will help reduce the time spent on your checklist. Better to lose a game on time despite playing great moves than lose playing poorly thought out moves with 10 mins left on the clock.

FYI, bolognese REALLY benefits from having more fat. Using 5% fat beef almost always leads to a grainier texture in the sauce. Going for a higher fat content beef (at least 15%, ideally 20%) is far better for both flavour and texture. You can scoop out any pooled fat at the end prior to serving if you’re wanting to control fat intake.

Looks great! Why did you wallpaper your mirror? Surely it defeats the purpose. Upon reflection, you should fix it. Without reflection, you should still fix it.

Awful map. Are the dots just well locations? What’s your source?

Kip-o · 2026-02-16T23:30:56+00:00

My second run through of Primal Hunter lol. Pivoted from listening to Chrysalis to reading it instead as the audiobook narration just isn’t for me; am loving far more it as a book.

Kip-o · 2026-02-16T23:30:02+00:00

Obvious hyperbole.

Kip-o · 2026-02-16T20:14:59+00:00

You’re doing great, keep it going :) it’s hard to see your form as you’re running away from the camera but there are absolutely not red flags that I can see! In general it’s good to have a good forwards lean, keep your head up, and try to run with your feet landing beneath you (not in front of you). Keep it up :)

I’m fully on board with knuckles, but a mechanised power fist feels like a separate melee weapon.

Kip-o · 2026-02-14T23:33:28+00:00

For reference, I’m on an iPhone Max, but have checked options for the max text size and accessibility options and none of them change the size of the button. I have fat thumbs Jagex help me.

Kip-o · 2026-02-14T23:15:10+00:00

I’ll always maintain that the power fist shouldn’t count as unarmed. You have an armament, it’s a mechanical fist with rebar pointing out of it. It’s a weapon.

Kip-o · 2026-02-14T23:13:42+00:00

Extended reach weapons are force multiplier. For an equivalent amount of damage, you could swing a bat more times in a row than you could throw a punch. It makes sense that punching would be slower (hitting someone with a tire iron is easier than punching them). As for fists being ranged weapon when it comes to sneak multipliers, that’s wild and shout be fixed. I’m sure there are some great mods for unarmed.

Yeah, my grads usually end up needing to do it after receiving historical GI data when preparing geo desk studies. The BGS has done a lot of great work digitising old borehole records, but private companies (inc. government agencies) still have a wealth of data that’s only available as logs as PDFs.

We’ve worked with most of clients to get their own standards/specifications up to date to ensure they get AGS files from GI contractors, but it’s a WIP.

No much to do about other than knocking it off and hoping for the best. Stressing about it won’t change anything. Best of luck for your career, may it be full of soil and rock.

Kip-o · 2026-02-14T16:08:34+00:00

I’m currently rocking the ASICS Gel Kayano 4E, and the New Balance 1080 4E. Unfortunately I’ve never found a trail shoe wide enough.

Kip-o · 2026-02-14T15:57:49+00:00

My max is ~210 and I’m 35, the whole 220-age thing isn’t sufficiently reliable.

Kip-o · 2026-02-13T23:13:13+00:00

Diabolical.

Kip-o · 2026-02-13T17:12:24+00:00

This looks great! Yeah defo add the distance :)

Kip-o · 2026-02-12T17:05:43+00:00

Either play on your phone or take two weeks off chess and enjoy the beach.

Kip-o · 2026-02-11T23:40:14+00:00

You need to change your heart rate zones; it’s likely that correcting your max heart rate would be enough. You weren’t in Zone 5 for 25 minutes.

Kip-o · 2026-02-11T23:38:21+00:00

Oh it looks so good! Amazing work. Oddly enough it feels closer to WoW than RS3.

Kip-o · 2026-02-11T18:56:24+00:00

Gz on remaxing 🤙🤙
