It’s still the Easter weekend. Give him 24 more hours, and update us when it’s been 3 days.

Iset it up a long while ago but haven’t updated in a long while either… not sure whether the tracking is still active on my phone. Thanks for this post, I’ll see whether there is an easy upgrade path to 1.0 without too many breaking changes 😄

It’s bulletproof glass for the two small blind spots the Secret Service can’t cover. They tried different agent setups to cover all sides first, but eventually figured „ah, fuck it, let’s just put some bullet proof glass on these two angles and we’re fine.“ Also, they have a secondary use to project text for the president to read. But that only came up after Obama came up with idea. „Hey guys, why don’t you project the text I need to read somewhere in the wall, so I don’t have to use a stack of papers?“ - „but isn’t that too far away to read?“ - „ oh, yeah… hey, how about we use that bullet proof glass thingy and project it on there?“ - „seriously? Projecting onto glass? What did they put in your cereal this morning, sir?“

Ah, I remember him extracting that metal and forging a disc or ring of sorts, which then had to be taken to a volcano and thrown into. But man that movie was looooong…

Sharknado 9: Fire and Ash

Just wanted to comment this. The amount of lint can be quite shocking, but explains why e.g. t-shirts seem to get thinner over time…

Thanks for that comment. I went for the read and don’t regret it.

Fighting each other again and again, which I don’t hate them for — but it is very stressful. They could accomplish so much more if they would cooperate with each other…

For me it’s just sheer discipline and the occasional motivational drop in weight to a new low. I set myself a clear goal I want to reach and stick to that plan, knowing roughly by when I will reach it.

Discipline: I just forbid myself any kind of sweets (no chocolate, gummybears, chips, cookies, etc for 3 months now) and try to eat as little as I can stick with. This is most likely not the most healthy way to diet, but I can take a strict discipline for a little time better than having to be only a little strict for a much longer time. Most days I only eat something in the evening, ideally some salad or cottage cheese with veggies. Drinking lots of water and coffee helps. Sometimes a zero sugar energy drink which helps soothe the need for something sweet.

Motivation: I track my weight using the app Happy Scale, but any spreadsheet to average out numbers will work. Basically I get on the scale every morning before drinking or eating anything, and log my weight. It will still fluctuate daily, but tracking a rolling average helps to see it go down overall. And if for some days in a row it doesn’t, I just have to stick to the laws of physics which dictate that my body can’t create energy out of thin air, so it’s most likely just water being stored more some days than others.

Joy - an Irish Christmas by Keith and Kristyn Getty

Nope, they’re the actual only people in the Good Place.

Well to be fair, they didn’t have to give it machine gun arms and red glowing eyes. But maybe that’s just me.

Where’s the rest of it? Don’t leave us hanging.
