The Phatom Menace hits sooo much differently if you’ve read the books to fill in a lot of gaps that the movie itself doesn’t take time to explain. I would say AotC and RotS don’t suffer from this as much, but The Phantom Menace does stand out in this regard.

I think it’s possible to separate creator from work.

Not when it comes to consumerism. By consuming their product you are directly supporting that creator. Installing omarchy boosts their numbers which attracts more users. We could all just not do that and not support nazis

if you’re up for self-hosting, I generally buy music from Bandcamp or Qobuz. It sits on my home server running Navidrome, and connected to my tailnet. I stream to my phone, tablet, etc. on the go using Tailscale and a subsonic client.

it was about a weekends worth of setup to get in a good spot. couple years ago I’d have said consider setting up your local music library in Plex, get a plex pass, then use Plexamp. But with the pricing changes it’s nowhere near really worth using unless you already have a plex lifetime pass.

How deep do i have to go to get to the dangly thing in the back of the butt??

Exercise. Partly because I’ve gotten into a sport, but I also just enjoy seeing myself get into better shape even though I’m getting older. Things that felt physically impossible to do 90 days ago feel like a breeze now. Being at my desk for 8 -12 hours out of the day is way more exhausting than spending 2 - 3 hours at the gym.

3 rep tracking is better than 2 which is miles above 1 in my opinion. I got the Instinct 1 as a gift during the pandemic and hardly used it because it would drop reps too often to even be useful at the gym. The Instinct 2 was a decent upgrade for this in particular, but I would say the HR monitor in the Instinct 1 seemed slightly more accurate than the Instinct 2’s. I’m really happy with the Instinct 3 though. It seems like Garmin has addressed all my own complaints about the Instinct 2.

As for sweat, buddy I’m right there with you. I have to peel clothes off after every session but both the 2 and 3 don’t seem fazed by my sweaty arms. I do try to tighten my band a notch before each session to get accurate HR and that seems to help a lot. My only advice is that if you’re going for the 3 just grab the AMOLED version unless you’re outside A LOT. I originally got the Solar and it just would not hold a charge well even if I did frequent hikes. Returned it and swapped for the AMOLED and it’s generally holding a charge for me for ~ 18d with Pulse Ox turned off. No real complaints with the 3 just that I liked the displays on the 1 and 2s more than the colorful display of the 3, but functionality-wise it’s a step above both of them

I use both a Garmin Instinct 3 (AMOLED) and a Garmin Instinct 2. When I bought them I added ~ 25 Workouts I do normally. After that I paired it up with GadgetBridge. I use it to track my gym activities and sleep patterns. I hardly ever use the GPS feature, but sometimes I use it when I’m hiking.

2. Space Warlord Organ Trading Sim
3. Streets of Rogue

All of them are sub 20GB, heck they might all even be sub 10 GB

Camo is probably cosplay when they’re hunting deer, but the orange vest is specifically for other humans who somehow have worse eyesight than deer and will shoot you because the camo worked on them better than it worked on the animal they’re hunting.

Here in the US, Passport services are more often handled by Post Offices. Some Libraries and other government offices handle it as well, but that’s mostly in metropolitan areas. So if you wanna leave this shithole you’ll likely find yourself having to visit one at some point. Doubly true if you’re unfortunate enough to be in a rural part of the US

Pick up something else like a trade. Would be a great excuse to pick up electric engineering or carpentry

oof and every small nudge in that area during recovery feels like you’ve been kicked square in the balls.
