i just find it impossible to weight train, do my job, keep up the household, put dinner on the table (somehow necessary every day), and perform my emotional wellbeing hobby, all in the same week, am i simply asking for too much?

those who remember to take collagen precisely 1 hour before their workout will inherit the earth

do you ever core in so hard your butt hurts? thats the entire sport of bouldering.

ugh i can't believe every piece of wisdom i've gathered in the last 15 years had been totally encompassed within the lyrics of "the middle" by jimmy eat world this entire time, what the heck

running the business with KPIs like: 1. how many friends did i make this quarter 2. are we happy name a better metric. you wouldn't, cowards

nothing marks the vicious passage of time like finishing your breakfast just to realize it's time to start lunch

my ideal phone is an apple watch with a camera attached by a case! surely this must exist

OBSESSED with this quest & website. the spirit of adventure is alive and well. this dazzling trip report/journal/interactive citizen science is the manifestation of our hopes and dreams for when programming gets easier and faster but walking uphill is still hard! adventures.caseyhandmer.com/tulainyo

adventures.caseyhandmer.comTulainyo — a bathymetry expeditionNo-one knew how deep the highest large lake in the Sierra was, so we carried a packraft over Shepherd Pass and found out: 117 m.

also i’ve noticed a weak spot in my curated rss feed. i love to read my programmer friends’ long form thoughts on adopting AI workflows, but i don’t have the analogous for design/ux! what are the norms there?? how can i see into that world. how i long for the gold era of twitter

ok so….since no one is writing or reading code these days…do programming languages matter anymore? serious question

disappointed at the ig algorithm. i CLEARLY stated my interests (tb2 mirror, khw fullride, coffee) and it keeps showing me the og tension board, or tb2 spray, or the gym kilter! these sets are not the same!!!!

i keep running into more reasons while it’s cool to eschew involving the govt in ur romantic life, being legally married in the US is just smart. TiL: you only get survivor benefits via social security if you are married.

US capitalism doesn't make any sense. how is it that i can buy better glasses for cheaper on zenni dot com than i can through my insurance, which gives me 100s of dollars of rebate on glasses???

why are my contact lenses $400 (before insurance rebate) in the US and $165 in canada???

when ur single friend is sick, it’s nice to bring them soup. everyone needs someone to take care of them sometimes 😌

when coaches are like “to get strong the real trick is these lifestyle changes” and i’m like, high key i stopped drinking alcohol, i get 9hr of sleep, i eat vegetables everyday, and i still feel awful!!!!

i tried all the stuff that my friends sang praises of. tried not drinking coffee, tried creatine, tried magnesium, tried a gratitude journal. tbh the only thing that noticeably helped me feel better was quitting vegetarianism

i both love and morn that asking to exchange phone numbers when getting to know someone is in again. a return to the defiantly unscalable and personal.

is it just me or is it absolutely wild that you're supposed to a house after looking at it for 15 minutes. my ideal process would include speaking with all the neighbors, observing the passing of the seasons, and bringing my friends there to see if they all fit

wow finally a reason to go to SF

why are climbing and surfing not in the winter olympics?? performance boulder and sport climbing happens near freezing, and big waves depend on the winter swell

im traveling and really want to get to know the location, but all the online articles i’m finding are generated 😩 the only hack to find human voice seems to be to walk into a curated bookstore and purchase material published before 2022

i literally feel phished when i start reading a local‘s blog post only to realize it’s generated by AI like i could have asked an LLM myself and the output would have been better??

the downside to being an endurance athlete who grew up as an endurance athlete is that your go-to solution is pushing through pain until you’re unconscious

i saw a pile of trash out of the corner of my eye and thought it was my dog curled up for a nap

they reinvested productivity gains into the employees!! and the employees have a 4 day workweek!! in contrast it’s trippy to see my software/silicon valley friends working more and more as their jobs get more efficient.

i’m no luddite but i am seriously considering buying an iphone 13 mini off ebay to replace the one i just broke only so i can continue to have a small phone 😭

in the era of AI generated websites, handmaking a website is fun and cute as ever. it’s like how there’s still knitting circles even though fast fashion exists.
