Nice to get a free hour charging on the Type 2 connectors before heading back up the mountain 😁

Last night I watched Australian Masterchef.

Somebody made meringue and they all cheered.

"That's odd" I thought. "Normally in Australia they boo meringue".

pbrass,

@davep I don’t boo meringue, but did Jerry do? Oh yes.

davep,

@pbrass Took a second 😂

They very nearly got me also, and not that long ago.

It's didn't help I was unwell at the time and I really should have listened to that nagging doubt 🫤🤦‍♂️

In a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that while doing either aerobic exercise or strength training was associated with a lower risk of dying during the study’s time frame, regularly doing both — one to three hours a week of aerobic exercise and one to two weekly strength training sessions — was associated with an even lower mortality risk.

davep,

Note that the main goal of strength training for the "Masters Athlete" is improved mobility, strength and balance through older age, and compression of the inevitable uselessness to a small window at the end of life.

It's worth subscribing to Dr Jonathan Sullivan's "Greysteel" channel and buying his book, "The Barbell Prescription"

A good time to review Patrick McKenzie's tour de force, Finality does not exist in payments.

A bloke walks into Boots and asks the assistant, "What's good for making my oven spotless?"

Assistant replies, "Ammonia cleaner."

Chap says, "Sorry, I thought you were a chemist."

I'm going mad. Is there a simple solution to creating a small e-commerce website? With you're paying for multiple premium plugins and it's just bonkers. It's like being caught in a web.

Haven't looked at or really. Ideas?

Edit: it's the multilingual stuff that is making it a headache.

#e-commerce

@davep you only need WP and one plugin woocommerce both are free

@davep just my 2 CTS but of you want WordPress+ecommerce+multilingual you should consider investing in Polylang. It's honestly the most reliable, stable and well coded solution for multilingual wp sites. If your site is not very complex or does not evolve really fast you can run it for several years without needing to update if you need to cut cost

Finally got the two Sunny Islands on the wall (130lb each) with the help of a neighbour 😵

Edit: they're 63kg, which is probably about 137lb in old money. Re-edit: nope, 139. Anyway, bloody heavy to lift above shoulder height.

davep,

@chrisgerhard It's a fair cop, guv'nor!

davep,

Me, a large chap, for scale.
