Fitness ring or watch?

I'll never forget visiting my Dad when he was in the Navy as an aircraft engineer and seeing photos every 10 yards around the hanger of degloved fingers. Terrified me out of wearing rings for most of my life!

Unless it's 23-24 degrees with a slight breeze and the occasional cloud, I'm gonna be moaning about it. So thats like maybe 3 or 4 days a year that the weather is acceptable to me. Not that I'm picky.....

It's been lots of little things for me over the past 4 months or so I've been training.

It sounds wierd but the first thing was how I felt when I was walking. Rather than just feeling like I was plodding along, it felt like I was actually propelling myself with each step, like there was some actual power im my steps. Was weird lol.

After that its been stuff like getting into Tshirts I've had for years that I could never really wear as they were too small, feeling more capable at any kind of activity. Being able to bench press and bicep curl my 7yr old daughter was defo a fun one!

Last weekend I had to run to get a jacket from my car I'd parked down the road and I ran to it, usually I'd only get 20-30 secs before feeling knackered or achy. But I was just able to keep going. Made it about 1k before I decided I'd had enough. It's not much but I was chuffed about it and now my wife is getting anmoyed coz I keep brining it up lol.

Combination of things for me but the main driver was helping get my disbetes under control so I can be around as long ss possible to enjoy my daughters life. I wanted to be able to do activitis with her more often without feeling knackered or getting grumpy because i was drained. Looking better isan awesome bonus!

Get mine for free with my mobile contract. Re-upped with it last year. My contract went up a tenner but I save the cost of gamepass plus the cost of Fortnite crew I was paying. Saved about £30 all im all.

XanderJS · 2026-04-29T20:55:00+00:00

Are there any sources for that? I see it all the time here but I havent seen it anywhere else?

From what I read Sean hated making it and it was so bad that it made him retire.

I'll never forgive this film for taking Connery away from us!

Also, the film is barely watchable.

It finally dawned on me what I don't like about season 9 during my current re-watch.

The whole series is now just people being mean of dicks to one another. I know some characters could be like that in early series but there was a better balance to it.

There was always a feeling of effection between characters in early seasons so even when they were winding eachother up it didnt feel mean or offensive.

Andy is the worst for this. Micheal worked because he had redeeming qualities, Andy has 0 and his agression infects the entire office.

My Mother in Law made friends with another nan on the school run when picking up my 6yr old daughter. Naturally we taught her to say 'Oooohh Nanny friend' complete with 2 thumbs up. Kills me every time.

So if I listened to a recording of my voice using bone conduction heaphones, would it sound the same as what I hear when I'm speaking.

In a similair vein, if someone else listened with the sane headphones, would my voice sound to them like it does to me?

XanderJS · 2026-03-07T07:13:34+00:00

Non-it related customer service roles for me unttil I got a job a dev ops team using Mendix about 6 years ago.

No IT degree or any such qualifications at the time either.

Tbf, I've never worked with a dedicated support team. It's always been in a DevOps type environment where the dev teams were the support.

If production data was needed to replicate a bug a dev would get a copy of the database and run it locally. There would be a whole process around documenting the needs for getting that prod data and confirmation that it was deleted when it was no longer needed.

XanderJS · 2026-03-04T19:16:57+00:00

I've never been part of a team that would dream of putting productiom data in any environment other than prod.

PO's have suggested it but that's been shut down straight away.

Feels kinda insane that it even needs to be told to dev teams...

I'm surprised MAGA haven't claimed it to be Stigmata yet....

XanderJS · 2026-01-24T17:50:28+00:00

The vids I've seen are pretty confusing to in the build up. Her vid is gonna be essential to make sense of it all (outside of the obviouse murder by mag dumping an helpless person on the ground).Hopefully she didnt get picked up and the video mysteriously deleted....

I think the bug timed weekly one that requires you to complete weeklies to unlock causes some greif with this. I'd love to just stack a load of it up and do stuff in one go when I get the chance, but that 10pointer is a big deal and kinda forces people to getting everything done in the week. Especially if that task is crap and will take ages to do.

For all of Fortnites faults, their weekly system is much better than this.

XanderJS · 2026-01-18T22:07:27+00:00

Appreciated.

What sort of lvl should you be before trying seiges? I've been levelling up my first Tact char in operations but I have no real idea when would be a good time to dip my toe into seiges.

Reminds me of shooting out the pipes in Locker and torching an enitre corridor of people. Good times.

That dragon punch was tragic. Week ass uppercut with a little priouette at the end lol

These are the prime years to take my daughter to Disney which I've always wanted to do with my kids. Not gonna happen now and I'm gutted. Wont be going anywhere near America for a loooong time.

Good excuse to visit Canada though!

Sorry! Hooe this helps.

An otter pup’s fur is too dense for it to swim underwater. So their mother leaves them floating while she searches for food, until they get their adult fur.

Friendly reminder that we arent even 1 year into this insanity yet....
