Seems like deadlifting and RDLing on the same day might solve your issue

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't seem like splitting off the discussion into two subs would help at this point. Strength and hypertrophy is a large part of fitness. What is the benefit of dividing the user base like this?

Agree, pull push legs makes the most sense. That said, once you get to a certain level of strength, deadlifting twice per week just may not make sense anymore no matter what you do.

If you were in the US I would guess that during normal times you could find a job that pays $90-100k + benefits.

It's not an exact comparison, I'm a front end person with a lot of Drupal experience, probably less php and js experience than you, and my agency pays really well, but I was hired at $108k and earn $118k now, + about 15k in benefits, to give you a rough idea.

You might be able to find a remote job in the US but it will be tough, the time difference is hard, plus the added expense of employing someone in another country, plus the massive uncertainty around the US economy right now will be challenging. Worth a shot, but I think it's definitely worth trying to find something better in the UK.

Are you in the US? You should be making way more than that if so

13 reps is still pretty good!

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Wow, finally found something that combines my two loves

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Glad you're focusing on fiber too. I think fiber can be under rated in fitness circles since it is great for long term health but doesn't contribute as much to shorter term fitness goals directly.

Heck yeah, I feel that

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Nice. Have you considered moving onto a harder variation like weighted or incline push ups?

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crutches are so much more annoying than they appear. That's exciting.

Congrats! Time to move up?

 

We want to hear it!

 

I've upgraded my Pixel XL every year from the 6 to the 9 (pro). Say what you will about that financial decision. Each year I've told myself I only did it because it was such a "great deal" either for the sale price on the pixel or the "boosted trade-in value" from the previous.

I thought it would be fun to look at the prices for each in the context of the others and see how they varied from year to year.

Each year I bought the XL model with the lowest storage space (except the 9 pro), and pro when it was offered. Only one of the years I received a promotional item and I'll note that. The total price is listed with tax.

Pixel 6 Pro 128gb

10/19/2021
Total: $969
Trade-in: $175 (of two year old Pixel 4XL)
Pixel Buds A: $99 (retail)
Net: $695

Pixel 7 Pro 128gb

11/7/2022
Total: $968
Trade-in: $500
Net: $468

Pixel 8 Pro 128gb

12/26/2023
Total $753
Trade-in: $315
Net: $438

Pixel 9 Pro 256gb

11/6/2024
Total: $904 (with "gold" play  points discount)
Trade-in: $699
Net: $205
Net (If I had bought the 128gb): ~$105

Originally I'd planned to keep my 8 pro another year, but looking at it this way it makes more sense why I couldn't help myself and go with the update again.

On another note, I find it annoying the way Google plays around with "boosted trade-in values." I get that they do a lot of sales to encourage purchases, but changing around the trade-in values to create a sense of urgency and price confusion -- especially on their own phones! -- seems distasteful to me. They should stick with what they think is the actual value of their phones, and admit whether they do or don't hold that value over time.

 

I'm not great with Docker or networking, so when I picked up an n100 mini pc for self hosting I installed Ubuntu and Tipi to get started.

I used Tipi to install Immich and forwarded my ports, then setup cloudflare tunneling to expose it to the internet. Currently I'm migrating from Google Photos.

But since I'm new to this I'm worried about exposing Immich to the internet without really knowing what I'm doing. Any suggestions on ways to monitor my setup to make sure nothing goes wrong or gets hacked? Ideally any application suggestions would come from the Tipi app store but I'm willing to learn if there's no other option. Thanks!

 

I've been considering an e-bike or similar for quick trips from my house to coffee shops, bars, the beach, etc. It seems like a great option to not worry about parking and avoid traffic. But I can't figure out what I would do with such an expensive thing (compared to a regular bike) when I get there.

Do you lock them to bike rack, or whatever random thing you can find? What about scooters, can you even lock them? Is that secure enough?

I really enjoyed shared scooters since you don't have to worry about that issue at all, until the city council in my city regulated them out of business.

 

I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

 

I was getting a trade-in quote of $250 for my 128gb 7 Pro last week, now it's up to $315. Not quite at the $500 I got for my 6 Pro this time last year though.

 

We want to know!

 
 

Then we'll argue about the answer in the comments

 

I want to hear what you've done recently that you're proud of.
