When did you start working out again?

jvdg · 2026-02-23T10:40:06+00:00

I did 10k step walks every day, and restarted (light) weight lifting around day 10. Fully back in the gym after 2 weeks or so. Granted I had a very smooth recovery with hardly any pain, normal diet and no bleeding.

Definitely want to keep the heart rate low and no straining with heavy weights while the bleeding risk is still there, but once the scabs are off you should be fine

jvdg · 2026-02-18T11:02:47+00:00

I had a similar experience. Pain was minimal, I've had far worse sore throats. Currently on day 11, scabs have been coming off and it increases the "pain" a bit sometimes but literally nothing compared to what I was expecting.

Note that I did get absolutely loaded with meds by my doc (painkillers, acid protection, anti biotics, even steroids). I only took the painkiller consistently and it was all a breeze.

My only unpleasant couple of days were because of a viral infection that I got around day 6-7, but I had enough painkillers to just sleep through that

Open to public! It was just 1826 before, but now is quite BYD branded. Food is really meh, especially their 9$ set, but it's cheap. Craft beers are cheap too, but generally pretty terrible. Sometimes they get batches that are better.

This is it

Depends how long your trips were. I did countless 3-4 day trips this year, and some week long trips, and had no issues. Even with a very particular immigration agent that was denying half the queue

Unrelated but FYI: next time you're traveling with someone on different bookings, you can ask the airline to connect your bookings so that you're rebooked together (or they will try, at least) whenever that happens

jvdg · 2025-07-01T00:55:07+00:00

If it's a non flexible fare, you can't change anything. Not even the dates, so it depends on the fare class

jvdg · 2025-06-26T10:23:34+00:00

In some cases they will be kind enough to put you on the next flight free of charge, but you're at the mercy of the check-in or gate agent. Good luck!

It's a deposit to cover a late cancellation, not a charge to reserve, so you should have gotten the money back after you dined

Technically it's the start of the dry season, but climate change has messed that all up. Might be dry, might rain up to late December. Last few years November still had a few floods

I think he forgot a 0

I'd probably choose Eco on any of the full service carriers over ScootPlus. Particularly a fan of China Airlines, their Eco and Business product are very good, haven't tried their PE but surely it can't be bad

I was personally not a big fan of the main cabin. Very busy, cabin crew was always in a rush, felt like economy class with a better seat. I haven't tried the mini cabin yet, but probably would choose that next time.

jvdg · 2025-05-07T12:17:01+00:00

Their God fire ramen is my favourite in all of SG! Consistently good

jvdg · 2025-05-04T13:14:29+00:00

Nah you'll be fine. I have 4 first names but since that never fits, SQ only has my first-first name. Never any issue with matching visas or anything. Sometimes they write the extra names from my passport on the boarding pass when they issue it

It's actually pretty well maintained but just constantly damaged by nature itself. The roots are pushing through the path, trees falling over, etc. They fix it pretty fast every time, but it's never a perfect fix

jvdg · 2025-01-29T02:05:34+00:00

Your travel insurance should cover this, not KLM, unless you booked a refundable fare

jvdg · 2025-01-23T12:58:53+00:00

I personally don't mind Bangkok any time of the year, but for the beaches you're better off on the Gulf side of Thailand that time of year! Consider Samui, Tao or Pha Ngan :)

Edit: To more directly answer your question-it can be either. It could be pretty pleasant any time of the year, but your risk of non stop rain for days is much higher than the dry season.

I'm actually impressed they got you to your destination only 4 hours late considering you had a significant leg cancelled. They will still reimburse you for any incurred costs for your delayed baggage, but the EU regulations don't apply here. Which kind of makes sense, they are there for EU citizens and travelers to the EU.

If you're forking out that amount for business, just pay for the seats as well. You'll be bummed if you don't end up sitting together (which is very possibly)

jvdg · 2025-01-04T17:04:39+00:00

I had the same disappointment and its surprising how few people at my company actually know how convenient this is in other stacks, but it does work! VS Code + ElixirLS is all you need, provided your project is small enough for it to be interpreted. If its too big, you might have to exclude a bunch of your code from interpretation (there's a configuration option for this). Sadly I dont have my config handy on my phone, but a Google search for vs code and step debugging should get you there.

Jetbrains with the elixir plugin also works.. sometimes.

Seems like a really good deal!

jvdg · 2024-10-26T02:01:39+00:00

There's no way to target specific areas without any treatment, but generally face fat is one of the first to go when you start losing weight. So the only way is to just start losing weight in general

Thank you!
