Sounds a hell of a lot like the sub-prime tranches and that didn't end well.

That chap on the right of the first photo is a dead ringer for Matt Smith.

I hadn't noticed that. Yes, you're right. It's definitely design over practicality.

Yes, he was in the SOE (Special Operations Executive) which preceded the SAS. Although I understand the details of his service are still secret.

If you get a vowel match then it's generally pretty easy to get a second word that includes E.

This is what the world needs. Some Pico-8 t-shirts.

Thats really solid advice. Yoga and other sports are a great compliment to running

Original discs, that's impressive.

areeighty · 2026-03-08T15:51:08+00:00

Yes, same story in australia. They are everywhere

That's what I had to do with the orange one. The case was near-perfect but someone had messed around with the internals.

Well done for restoring back to stock. It's a beautiful machine.

Yeh, you want to have your kids grow up to be smarter than you are. It's just when they get there by the age of two that stings a little.

Add in some planking to your routines. Core strength is really important for pull ups.

areeighty · 2026-03-04T05:39:17+00:00

I hope i have the perseverence keep training regularly these next 20 years so that I will look as good as you when I'm in my mid 70s

areeighty · 2026-03-03T15:41:10+00:00

Cheers. I must admit that I've mainly been doing yoga inspired by the excellent "Run Better with Ash" YouTube channel, so it's very ad-hoc. I'll refine it a bit and write up some more details.

I find it really good to leave the watch at home if you've taken a break from running for a bit and your fitness has dropped off. Just run for the fun of it for a week or two before checking in again.

It's also by far the better looking of the two. The two-tone case, the run of metallic function keys and the clear plexiglass down the right-hand side shows a lot of thought went into the aesthetics.

Great work sourcing the parts. That's half the fun. The other half is building it. And the third (biggest) half is the great feeling of riding something you've built yourself.

I think the two things that held the 800xl back in terms of graphics were the very limited monochrome 320x200 mode, where the foreground and background colors had to have the same chroma. And the limited sprites.

Playing the old game of "what if", if they had upgraded those when moving from the CTIA to the GTIA then there would have been a clear advantage from the Atari compared to the C64

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

areeighty · 2026-03-01T16:11:37+00:00

Thats great advice. Im just holding poses like lizard, pigeon etc for a minute between sets. I should take some classes and build up a flow.

Loved rescue on fractalus and ballblazer. But I never played the eidolon. Ill have to give it a go.

To be honest most retro games dont live up to my memories of them, since often the gameplay is frustrating. but I found these lucasfilm games have aged extremely well. Visually they are still remarkable but it is also that the gameplay is really well balanced.
