Wait, they’re not all made in China? Last time we were ordering some for a development board at work, we had to source them from China, though that was admittedly a few years back.

iirc Rob was the user and Doug was the dealer.

Making someone’s day. All it really takes is a small unexpected gesture. You pick up a little extra something for a coworker at the coffee shop. You let someone with small kids move ahead of you in the line.

Heck, even asking a favour of someone can be all it takes sometimes. If they’re feeling ignored or in a funk for whatever reason, it brings them back and can be a little self esteem boost knowing they helped you out.

I’m type 2 diabetic and noticed my blood sugar tends to peak around half an hour after eating. So I now try to time any exercise I do for that window. And actually it feels good. Like I feel an urge to get up and move around at about that point, so I guess the body is trying to tell you something?

Since most of my exercise involves cycling, if I’m say eating out someplace and can afford the time, I relax for about half an hour at the restaurant before hitting the road.

I told this to my diabetic councillor. She said such a regimen is approximately equivalent in therapeutic value to taking a metformin pill, so this is clearly a good thing for me, but I imagine it’s not bad idea in general?

I’m glad you found something that works. I don’t think there is a one size fits all solution to weight gain, but it’s awesome that your approach does not necessitate splurging on diet plans or gym memberships.

I’ve been losing weight very slowly myself over the past several years since I cancelled my largely ignored gym membership during the pandemic and bought an ebike instead. I commute on it regularly and, while it’s hardly what I would call a vigorous workout, it seems to have flipped the weight curve from slight gain/time to even slighter loss. Like we’re talking a pound/month if that. But I’ll take it!

I think that’s part of the plan though right? If they spot a compliance officer walking up, they can drive the patio around the block a bit until he’s gone.

I hope you post an unboxing video. It could be exceptional…

I was kind of hoping for a window view. I can’t even picture what travelling 600 kph at ground level would look like?

Aw man, not the early 90s again…
