My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.

"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.

That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.

Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.

I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.

The hate on Bluesky is on a completely different level. I'm Iraqi Moroccan Israeli Jewish and someone told me to get back to Brooklyn (where I have never been and have never known anyone in). Every single thing I say about my own family experience surviving the massacre is "debunked". You can't debunk my literal life experience lmao. I didn't say one word against Palestinians, I only said the victims of the massacre matter - this is literally all I've said, and I got neverending hate comments.

@skaly what really saddens me about the times we live in is that there's no middle ground.
People are either in favour or against, they either belong to a clan or the other.
No critical thinking, no second degree, it looks like everyone is acting like a social megaphone.
Frankly there are very few issues for which my own opinion is carved in stone. So I avoid most political debates.
Once on IG I got many hateful replies for just pointing out that China isn't a democracy. I merely stated a fact.

Had to cut my run short today because I pulled a muscle in my right calf. It started to bother me at km 3 and just before km 8 I had to stop because of the pain. Hopefully some rest will fix it.
Do you know how long should I rest? I can move normally, though it's a bit painful

Danish people 🇩🇰 on Mastodon, I'm visiting your wonderful country in a week and I was wondering if I should pack the car with food. We're a family of 4 and we must pay attention to our budget, considering how much we already spent on accommodations and 🤩
Could you please tell me current prices for bread, milk, eggs and canned thuna? Thanks

There were tons of people and I had to slalom and preemptly visualize the change of direction to make my way through them.

On top of that my respiration is still stuffy, even if I feel good now, so I had to keep an easy pace even when the path was clear.

It's a sunny and warm day. The first one of the year I thought it would be good to have water with me.

Next time I'll wear my new belt with many large pockets!

@emmaaum We have a lot of folk dances in Italy. Salterello is from the central regions, then in the South there's pizzica and tarantella.
I'd really love to go see this festival once in my lifetime.

X5:

2️⃣ band-assisted dip x10
3️⃣ Roman chair knee raise x10
4️⃣ single-calf raise @ 5kg x10/side
5️⃣ side plank & opening x10/side
6️⃣ mountain climber x20/side

My blue power band wore off and it's now less resistant than my red band, which is supposedly 10kg less resistant.
It's quite a discovery because I thought I was making no progress at all.

Tip of the day: change your elastic bands after 1-2 years if they're used regularly!

Bong said in a faltering voice, "A single sentence that the police have announced -- ‘We have conducted the process in a legitimate manner' -- doesn't mean that they're free from responsibility."

4️⃣ Assisted narrow deep squat x12
5️⃣ Turkish get-up @ 1,5kg x6/side

I underestimated the global effort of the exercises I've chosen and I could do just 4 laps instead of 5. Turkish get-ups totally got me 😅
I've also tried another new exercise, the elevated KB knee drive. It's something I need to work on, but I am afraid of dropping the KB to the floor.

Following the South Korean government decision to increase of 3000 the number of students admitted to medicine, 55% of young trainee doctors resigned from their post.

This massive protest shows that they became doctors just for the money. South Korea has a flourishing plastic surgery market and I suppose that, as long as their license isn't suspended, these resigning doctors can still make a wealthy living.

I did it 🥳🎉!

First 10k and my PB so far. My net time was 01:02:12, i.e. a pace of 6'13"/km
My best training time so far has been 6'25"/km in 9 km, so I'm satisfied with my performance!

People cheering while passing by is a great motivational boost.

Not my fastest 10k but I had fun. Like a crazy lady I sang for 8 km 😂, then I decided to pick up the pace a bit for the last 2 km.
It was raining, windy and most alleys in the park were blocked due to a triathlon competition.
So no star shape either today 😞.
Nevertheless the good thing with bad weather is less groups of people going for a walk and taking up the whole alley width.

Another ⭐-drawing. This is a time-efficient 10k path starting and ending at 10-min walk from home. I'll keep it in mind.
What do you think? To me it looks like a ⭐ hanging from a tree branch.

Performance-wise I felt tired. I usually increase my speed the last km but today I couldn't even do that.

My didn't go as planned today. Temperature was -5°C and my old phone suddenly drained its battery at km 4. I really need a new one 😭!
So I went back, but with no music to keep me focused I stopped after 2ish km.
I must have run for about 6 km only.

Here's an idea buzzing on my mind since some time. I'd like to build a portable wrist device to monitor my HR.
💚 A green LED is ON in zone 2
💛 A yellow LED for zone 3
❤️ A red LED for zone 4+

Then, if this works, I'd like to add a GPS module buzzing and lighting a 💙 LED at every km.
In the past I've tinkered a bit with and components. Unfortunately there weren't enough modules back then and I lost interest.

Now it's different.

@herrbischoff you might be surprised at how cheap electronics components inside expensive consumer products can be. The high price isn't related to the hardware or we would have continued to manufacture that in Western countries.
It's rather software, integration, design, etc.
Moreover real products must target a varied population. If you put a sensor on a finger, those who lift, raw, climb, etc can't use the device.
I personally just need to monitor my HR during sessions.
