I would have liked to see some actual cash numbers for this. The author didn't list how much was made on the youtube channel.

Ok, back from vacation to Las Vegas. And my fiance didn't let me keep up my AI 100-consecutive day workout challenge. In fact, she only let me go to the gym for one day during the whole week. lol

So now that I'm back, I'm going to try this workout.

To get all the workouts in, I'm gonna have to wake up early do do some of the rowing

And I am not looking forward to it at all! But fuck it, I wanna be as fit as a college athlete, I guess I gotta work out like a college athlete. :)

Pretty much. I'm not sure I totally buy into that it's much of an increase though. Or people would be dropping like flies.

I think the bigger issues is just being generally overweight. The percentage of overweight people is crazy, regardless of their jobs.

I'm 55 and not to be an old man and say "in the old days", but in the old days, when I was growing up. I knew ONE overweight person. Yeah, just one. It just wasn't common. Look at pics from the 1970's, and you just won't see a whole lot of overweight people.

Now? Everywhere I look. I'm sure more office workers have added to that, but that doesn't account for everyone.

I work in an elementary school. And I was sitting at lunch just looking around and thinking about it. Teachers are actually pretty active. Lots of walking around the classroom. Very little sit down time in an elementary school.

Me and two others are fit. Rest are all overweight. How did this happen?!

Ok, rant over. Just got me to thinking. :)

Hey, I'd trade my bod for your youth any day, friend!! :) The only way I accept being older is I'm thinking I'll try to just morph into "old man viking warrior." The only way being old will be acceptable. haha

Thanks! It's def tricky staying lean at my age.

But I've been working it pretty hard lately cuz going to Vegas with my girl next week. So I wanna look good for all the selfies we'll be taking. haha

If not careful, I'd be the evil "skinny-fat" in no time. I'd look like an egg with toothpicks for arms and toothpicks for legs. Which, in my mind, is worse than just being overweight! lol

Really? And here I am trying to figure out how to live forever!

[–] UniversalMonk@slrpnk.net 6 points 7 months ago

No, don't do that. Stress is bad for the heart too! lol

Kudos to all the great techs and programmers who built this and the ones that still work with it. Amazing piece of technology!

 

The reason I'm asking is that, to me, all the ways to get into solar seem really expensive.

Even what many people online call 'cheap' is often beyond my budget.

Is it more about doing a DIY setup, finding recycled solar equipment, or are there other affordable options? Should I just start the self-teaching route and do the work there? I am getting information overload, so I'm not sure where to start.

For context, I'm an older person with an income of less than $25K a year. I work as a teacher's aide in an underprivileged elementary school. So the salary won't increase.

I like what I do, so I'm not complaining, just giving you background to avoid the "get a higher paying job" replies, because I feel the work I do is important to the kids and I want to keep doing it for a little longer.

Is solar realistically within my reach?
