What precisely are you asking? 
Arenāt you on YouTube quite a lot? Isnāt that one-directional social media in a sense? I think you like it here because it pertains to your interests and, sorry to be so blunt, can serve as firewood to sustain your eating disorder.
Iāll write those up on a proverbial to-do list (meaning Iāll try and remember to get around to it at some point). Donāt hold me to it though, yesterday I managed to watch 3 minutes and 44 seconds of a TV-show and it took me a grand total of four hours to do it. I distractā¦ easily.
Sounds like Calās books would be a great fit then! Though it probably depends on what exactly is distracting you.
Everything 
This feels like a dad joke, do you have children? Iād do the drum emoji if I could find it!
Yes. Do things. It will always yield you something positive. Not always what you expected, but something positive, even a lesson.
I basically said yes to everything these last few months. And many lucky things happened. Because I dared, I tried. incredible memories. And if I hadnāt, I wouldnāt even have been taken in my sports school. So yeah
Oh, Sorry to derail- I was asking about the āaddictiveā part
Now that I have school/research, Iāve cut down on my video watching and donāt miss it at all
In contrast, my brother feels like he āneedsā Snapchat/Instagram time
The corollary is what Tim Ferris (I think itās him, might be some other productivity, min/maxing, success-guru, bloke) that says āIf itās not a āhell yeahā, itās a noā. And thatāll work for some people to attain āsuccessā. But, Iād rather measure my life by the experiences Iāve had than my net worth.
Have you seen āYes Manā? Not a bad film
Not every person is as susceptible to addiction I guess. @The_Myth is the better person to ask here. I have an addictive personality, but I havenāt invested into understanding it, nor engaged with other people that have had problems with addiction.
Me deadlift bar is my baby.
Iāve always been drawn to the idea of interesting people over rich or insert status symbol here people.
Haha thatās a solid move dude. I actually dislike popcorn so I canāt imagine Iāll ever have it handy.
Committed Week 4, Day 22 committed2020
Weight: 75.3kg
Lead climbing. Some 6s. Forgot to log. Felt a bit weak in my finger on the penultimate one, taped up, did another, and felt satisfied and didnāt want to push my luck.
Finished with 50 strict-ish vertical pulls (alternating Chins and pull-ups) for time. Still need to find a good strategy as fatigue from climbing did a number on me.
Started with sets of ~ten until I reached 25 reps at which point I did 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. It was nice, less boring. Total time 7m02s.
Will want to try to do two such ladders next time. The time after that I want to strap on weight and just do the longest duration eccentric I can. Feels as if the climbing is a lot of concentric work already.
Appetite today was absent in the morning, and I figured it might be so I dethawed some salmon (locally caught) in the fridge overnight. I hate throwing food away, and never let anything spoil so I knew this potential consequence would have me eating regardless of how I felt.
For lunch I actually felt a hunger sensation (yay). Trying to eat less nuts for the sake of the cavity where my tooth used to be (nutsā¦ Stick around) so I boiled some onions and spinach in coconut milk and added chicken
It was good.
I didnāt want to eat before climbing but exercise demands fuel so I boiled oatmeal in three eggwhites, two eggs, a tablespoon of almond butter, some cinnamon and a chopped up apple. No picture. Added blueberries to cool it to an edible temperature.
Post-workout was a bit shoddy from a tooth perspective but here
Rode my skateboard in the morning
Yea, I definitely wasnāt trying to advocate for the āitās outdatedā position, just that the position is commonly held in a few of the development circles (Python, Rails, JS) Iāve been in. I havenāt worked with it, so I canāt give a worthwhile opinion but itās obviously huge in the corporate world still and I think that sometimes drives the outdated idea. Large companies are reticent to make changes that are costly and risky, so they stick with what works (e.g. Java).
Speaking of Cobol being outdated did you see this headline a few months ago?
On the other hand, itās entirely within my control to avoid getting my ass whooped for doing homework at 0300 lol (Asian parent things)
Will definitely make a habit of āyesā once I move out though
Thatās a word I enjoy.
I did. Personally, itās old news. Our first year at uni we had some representatives visiting from the banking world that half-joked that if you knew COBOL you could set your own salary. I cannot emphasise how scary it is that thereās software that fundamentally underpins our society where the know-how required to maintain and further develop it has been lost as the workforce has failed to pass the knowledge on to the younger generation.
Spent some time trying to find the exact thread but couldnāt, itāll be in here:
Appreciated, Iāll look around! Any vids of you climbing around in the Ether?
Not that I know of, Iāve just Google searched and I canāt see anything. I donāt post on ukb as I havenāt been an active climber for a decade, I have nothing to add, even though I know a couple of the other posters.
Hoping this will change soon but with new covid restrictions and infection increase in UK Iāll have to wait another 6 months to get climbing inside.
Iāll register an account and ask
Thank you!
Too cold to go outdoors? Whatās your living situation like? I saw some climbers build indoor routes through their homes, starting with some bolts down in the basement going all the way to their top-floor. Doesnāt look too challenging but better than nothing.
I really want to learn how to set routes. More interested in that than teaching people how to climb if Iām being honest.
