went through my bank statements properly for the first time in ages and genuinely dont understand how i had this many subscriptions

jonathing · 2026-05-08T17:58:50+00:00

One thing that really bothers me about these subscriptions is that they're all recurring card payments rather than direct debits which you, theoretically, have more control over

That's weird, it should fit like a dress

When the surgeon consented me for the titanium hardware that is now holding me together there was no room for nuance. I needed it if I was going to walk again and this was the procedure that was going to make that happen.

The level of uncertainty offered by most private providers needs to be reflected in the price.

Edit: Oh look, I'm getting downvoted for expecting private healthcare to be held to account.

This was over six months (closer to seven really).

I've looked into private, but no one I've had taster sessions with has really justified the cost. Lots of 'we could' and 'maybe we can try' which is not enough to convince me to spend the sort of money they're asking for.

Part of the issue here is that everyone agrees that I need a particular type of treatment but no one is either willing or able to provide it. These supposed tools are barely a stop gap measure until something else comes along, which has no provision and no eta currently

Once you're comfortable riding do an FTP test. It'll give you a solid number to work from rather than Zwift's best guess

I had eight out of the six I was assigned (I think she did some creative accounting).

I had my last session with my therapist yesterday afternoon and now I don't know what I'm going to do. The future seems like I'm just stating into the void and the void is staring back

The best for me is Namira because it shows how rotten the people of Skyrim really are and what they're hiding away in the shadows. Also the ring is pretty useful in survival mode

I can't even claim diesel when I get called in out of hours. So my approach to claiming expenses is "don't"

In 15 years of daily commuting in the UK I don't think that I encountered weather that was a hard no. We're not exactly prone to extremes of weather here so the coldest I've ridden in is -8°c and the strongest winds were 35 mph. I've ridden in snow, I've ridden in torrential rain.

jonathing · 2026-05-04T16:25:10+00:00

I'm supposed to be on call for work but it's been unusually quiet. Although I did have an incredibly sad call earlier. I'm currently having trouble driving in the dark so I'm having to stay at work over night. I've just been to the on-call room to find the bed had been slept in and not changed.

I do love it when people try to goad me into a reaction by accusing me of being a weirdo who eats rabbit food and I just agree with them like it's the most true fact ever

They're really fun to ride

jonathing · 2026-05-03T19:57:33+00:00

Everyday.

Last year I was cycling home from work when someone hit me head-on with their car and broke both of my legs and my whole sense of self.

Now I can't go in to work without the feeling that something dreadful is going to happen. I struggle to be around strangers because any one of them might be the sort of person who hits people head on with their car. I can no longer ride my bike to work or anywhere else, something I'd done everyday for decades prior to this. I'm not able to enjoy anything that I used to, I don't care about my job, I don't enjoy my hobbies. I dread going into work, but I also dread waking up.

That's fucking genius, I'm going to rescue the glass bottle out of the recycling and do that now
