I haven’t given up yet!

Apparently I just need to take my time getting back into it and somewhat slow my pace.

There’s more on my YT channel though if it interests you.

I’m definitely considering trying 👍

I’m just gonna drop a couple links here from 2012, this is literally me…

I was sorta joking about my diet, that’s just basically what I’ve eaten in the past couple days. I love diversity in my meals and generally hate eating the same thing even two days in a row.

One day I might want pizza, another I might want a burger, another I might want a salad and yogurt…

I’ve found diversity in diet yields diversity on the throne LOL! 🚽

I’m a BMX flatland rider, my pain scale goes up to 13.

13 is basically when you stand up and a walk to the microwave oven merely 10 feet away from you makes you literally pass out.

Yesterday my pain scale was about 4 on my scale, today it’s about 2… 👍

Truth be told, I just recovered from a right side thigh muscle pulled tendon, I almost couldn’t even walk for like 5 days.

The moment I realized that pain was fading, I’m like fuckit, I need to get out and try to stretch and flex all my muscles! By 2:30pm yesterday I was able to get out and walk our dog again. By about 7pm last night was when I tried pushups, got close to my goal too.

Today, about 6pm, even being sore, I managed to get 10 pushups in 👍

But yeah you’re right, I really should take a bit of a break…

I actually managed 10 tonight 👍

My diet is a random mix of beer, roast beef, ham, cheese, and beer. Oh, did I mention the beer?

LOL, I did manage to get 10 pushups in tonight at least…

I just managed 10 tonight!

I need the exercise…

Wait, scratch my last comment, even as sore as my muscles are right now, I just managed to do 10 full pushups! 👍

I think I’ll give myself a couple days for my muscle soreness to fade before I try again, as it’s been probably over a decade since I did any pushups.

I’m happy that I almost hit my first day goal of 10, honestly I got closer than I expected. But yeah, taking a break now I’m sore, but I’ll probably be trying again by Tuesday or Wednesday or so soon…

Edit: Check my other comment, I just tonight managed 10 pushups 👍

I crack my beer bottle cap with my teeth, like any other average nutjob. Hey, at least the aluminum cap is flexible and malleable…

I hear you and appreciate the advice. But thankfully I don’t have any problems with my legs or back, it was just that my arms gave out.

Hey, I got 9½ out of my 10 goal, so I’m already pretty close to my starting goal, and I haven’t even tried any pushups in over 10 years.

I think I’ll give my sore body a break for a few days and try again, but I’m not about cheating, if I’m gonna do pushups, I’m gonna do proper pushups.

Edit: I told myself fuck the break, I just managed 10 full proper pushups tonight 👍

Ah, the drowning lol meme…

I do still have a lot of these games, ROMs, programs, music and videos from back then actually, as I was heavily involved in my area salvaging flooded hardware and data right after Katrina.

Within like 2 weeks, using WD-40 and a pressure washer for the circuit boards, I estimate that I was able to get about 80% of the electronics that came my way working again.

Mechanical parts like hard drives might as well be considered a loss in the long run, but if addressed quickly, cleaning the controller board separately often allowed data recovery and backup.

I don’t have it all anymore, but I do still have a lot…

I’d go back to my old Hurricane Katrina flood salvage computer setup, specifically the evolved upgraded version by about 2008. I literally had 18 different cables plugged into it, with multiple devices connected throughout the entire trailer we lived in.

• 2 monitors
• A printer and a scanner
• Stereo speakers
• TV tuner with 2 televisions, a VCR, and an FM radio antenna
• Game controller
• Ethernet
• Keyboard and mouse, of course
• External card reader

And probably a couple other things I forgot.

Internally…

• 5 hard drives

• 3 disc burners

• Floppy drive

• 2.53GHz Pentium 4 CPU

• 1 whopping gigabyte of RAM, 333MHz I think

And you better bet your ass I had lots of music, movies, games and emulators too, even had multiplayer sessions across different rooms.

Man, lots of weed was smoked back then…

Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.

Cable One renamed themselves to /Sparklight, basically to get out of the Cable One promise that they were supposed to triple everyone’s internet speed for no extra charge once they upgraded all their lines and equipment.

When companies rename themselves, they’re basically legally relieved of any prior promises, obligations, or class action lawsuits made/filed under the old company name.

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

So you’re okay with eating toddlers, gotcha 👍
