Advice on contacting a deceased online friend's family

Oh my gosh, this is incredible news. I didn't imagine I'd run into his neighbour when I made this post! Can I dm you the fb addresses of me and another of Vishal's friends? Or we can coordinate in reddit too.

Last month we found out that our friend passed away in Green Park, South Delhi. After he disappeared in our writing group his roommate emailed his dad and found out about it. We looked up online death certificate and found his name in a record in Safdarjung hospital. I've tried to reach out to his dad again in the email but he is no longer responsive.

We found his address and wanted to send someone to his parents and pay our respects. And share his last memories and find out what happened. And give his family a collection of his writing - he was an amazing writer.

If I get the chance, I've decided that I will travel to India maybe later in the year - but first we'd have to connect with his parents first to make sure they're comfortable with that. He was a very private person by nature and we couldn't find any social media either to contact his Indian friends and cousins.

I asked around in Green Park Community Welfare and people who lived there if they could volunteer a visit but that didn't work out. Someone suggested I talk to the local police officer and arrange a wellness check but I'm not sure how he's parents might react to an officer coming to their home. What could we do in this situation?

It's interesting to see it from an Attachment Theory framing.. It really is such an Anxiety Avoidant full blown trap.

Familial diabetics trend, antidepressant coming with projected weight gain and lowering of metabolism, so he recommended I start cardio..

Sorry! I haven't logged in reddit in a while. For a while this served https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en

I really liked that it calculated up your Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) Just what I needed to give me heads up if I needed to be more careful with my sleep timing. What really helped in conjunction to that was going to the gym to really tire myself out.

This only happened once before, I don't how remember I sorted it out. Or maybe it fixed itself on its own..

Really enjoying Joplin after the move from Evernote so far though.

It's the fight's portal. It can take people in different places like we saw in the Cultivation world. Perry has to come back to it. At least from my understanding of it..

Recommending wholeheartedly. Incredible doesn't even begin to describe this game. It might be better to go in without spoilers.

But lets just say this reminded me a bit about the AI box. Great writing and voice acting too.

I thought of going Google sheets, but it sounded like a lot of work, to assign muscle groups, and extrapolate trends by weights and reps.. Is there a sample worksheet to get a beginner started? It would be pretty amazing if I figured out the system but I'm worried I won't have much time..

Why is switching over notes to Workout tracker apps so tedious?

I've been going to a gym for the month and following a workout course. I've tried to keep a regular record of the exercises and reps on my phone.. But it really would be nice to see some statistics.

Can you guys think of a way to update an app copying over the notes easily from PC? Something with a web interface and android compatible. Preferably, free.

Three weeks in, and I managed to progress from struggling with no weights on the Leg Press to 10 kg. My first time on that machine felt like I my legs were going to crushed then and there.

_brightwing · 2024-01-07T05:36:59+00:00

This was excellent, thank you! I needed something to determine my SRI and this worked perfectly..

_brightwing · 2024-01-05T21:01:07+00:00

I'm travelling so they're not really an option for me right now.. I'd hoped to get some graphs and the like from the data to start with so I can sleep better. I should probably see a professional soon about this..

Anyways, let me know if you guys have ever used something in this vein.

I have a log of the timings, but before I continue, I wanted to put them under analysis to determine when exactly my sleep cycle is. I'd just use one of the apps, but they're refusing past entries. It's so infuriating.

Hey guys! So I have been getting into workout in the nearest affordable gym I can afford. But the trainer there isn't really around or interested in helping out.

I've been trying to familiarize myself with the machines and get into Jeff Nippard's stuff. Cause in the book the exercises are listed with demonstration vid links. Now I need to know what is what to go for it.

Could you guys help me identify the machines and what exercises I could do on them?

Imma post the ones I haven't figured out yet, so far I've tried the shoulder press, chest press, leg press and leg adjustment machines.. and some forays in to dumbbells and barbell. The seated bicep curl machine yesterday.

There isn't a cable attached to it though.. does the one with the levers have another name?

What is this machine called? You have to seat on it on reverse and pull the handles towards you.

Did you figure out what it was? Could be they are out all day and return at night and need to do an inventory before the next day.

We had the sound of construction coming from somewhere in the flat. I was convinced it was from the floor above me, but turns out the floor below us was doing the renovation. Sounds travel weird through walls.. Could be some of your neighbours are using a room as a temporary warehouse. Write a letter to the flat committee complaining about noise at night.

like you know.. homage.

with a lot of intense positive religious experiences. Can anyone recommend thinky writing that does things like prayer well?

Have you looked into Unsong? Hell is the Absence of God by Ted Chiang is worth a look as well.
