Yup, that is a task a human could do. However, it is cost prohibitive to have your trainer there to critique your form all the time. The personal self-video helps individuals monitor adherence to whatever advice was given by a trainer as well as track incremental progress.

Chastising people for using easily accessible tools to guide themselves into proper form and preventing repetitive stress injuries as they pursue a self improvement hobby!

Late in 2027: “The ballroom roof infinity pool has resulted in a few engineering delays and cost overruns.”

My father’s insistence in meticulously cleaning up your drywall work space and site at the end of every day didn’t really hit me until I grew up and started doing it myself: so easy to spread that light white dust “ev-ery-where” without thinking.

tbh one of the biggest takeaways I have from being lucky enough to have been able to travel to a bunch of other countries is “wow, holy shit, look at all these publicly funded things other countries have.

our incredibly moneyed government really fucking hates us, huh?”

That was also our concern so we supplemented with a Dewayne Davis sign; there’s a very nearby Omar-Dewayne-&-Jazz sign, preempting our need for yet another sign.

I think of this every time he goes off on a tangent.

We saw our neighbors had a certain Frey sign and so we got the same one: benchpressed.com/products/don...

On this note: totally paid off to check out our local gov data and maps when house shopping; got a look at all the misc superfund and soil remediation sites around town.

English as a Second Language here: tell ya what, you rack up a lot of mispronounced higher level words when you read in English but don’t discuss in English.

Before finding the world of audiobooks, Frasier was a solid learning resource.

Any Twin Cities recommendations for lawn care/landscaping companies that can help tame a small but massively overgrown yard? (It hasn't mattered much since I don't use the yard, but next spring I'll have a highly mobile toddler who will need a *lawn* to run around in, not a jungle.)

“Shortly after, a woman starts vigorously waving at me with two hands, in a mocking manner, then points at her eyeballs in an ominous way.”

Next time, don’t forget your class signifier monocle or you’ll get called out again.

If we continue wildly, graspingly, extrapolating ‘poison’ is practically French for fish, which we all know is a stand-in for Jesus, which leads us back to why are we castigating this proud upstanding Christ-loving American and their tattoo in support for the giftiest American holiday, Christmas.

Suspect arrested in firebomb attack on Minneapolis ice cream shop Windows were broken and chairs caught fire, the owner said.

Apparently, more successful last night, but patrons at a nearby bar ran over to put out the fire; came back this afternoon to try again.

I’ve got a decent folding crate on the front of my cycle truck via bigantcrate.com

I fold it to strap on things larger than the crate. The underlying supporting steel frame support platform doesn’t fold, so it still takes up floorspace when parked in my home.

We’re coming up hard on “piles of wet dropped leaves are a deadly slip-n-slide” season, so mind your patches seasonably colorful road detritus.

I had to read about stuff like this on my own time as my poverty-region Texas public education glossed over a couple things. IIRC this learning rabbit hole stemmed from me trying to make sense of a Simpsons gag: to the library!

“All I’m saying is that Jesus was hung up on the cross by three nails, not four,” said the man about to be disemboweled and set aflame in the town square.

Of note: there was a pretty solid fixie scene Seattle for a bit. So many well defined legs in cutoff shorts.

That said, if you get that person past the danger aspect, it’s incredibly thrilling to haul ass down a looooooong straight hill as a regular part of riding around town.

TBF, biking is way more accessible in MPLS. It’s easier to talk non-biker peers into that intro-to-bikes-as-normal-transport casual bike ride with all these grade separated trails and bike lanes, ignoring the psychological impact of the hills.

I was feeding the cats this morning, trying my best to not let my mind wander into appending more rhymes to the stupid song haunting my brain.

Nope, just letting out the old impulse of shoehorning social scenarios into alt verses of Big Rock Candy Mountain.

“.. so come with me, we’ll go and see, Big Gay Party Mountain.”

SFO has worse singular hills but you can navigate around them; SEA has unrelenting hills where cresting one hill just lets you see another.

On the Big Gay Party mountain,
There’s a german bar that’s queer,
Where the football screens show soccer,
And they slosh out rainbow beers..

When I lived in that neighborhood, Capitol Hill, we would refer to it as
Big Gay Party Mountain: most establishments are/were “seemingly queer”.

That’s part of the appeal of biking through Harmon out of Loring Park. Overall definitely beats cutting over to Hennepin for a few blocks of busy traffic adjacent bike lane.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

Finding errant spilled sesame seeds gets my heart rate going.
