Unfortunately America wouldn’t let an American appear at The Hague. Like I’m sure they’d send special forces to recover them before that.

America does, and always has, done only what serves America. Biggest threat to world peace for like half their existence.

Your babushka had cool taste.

Why so aggressive dude.

Obviously I’ve heard of the BBC it’s from my country lol. It would be a shit world if all I had was the BBC stations.

Exactly. If you’re doing physical activities for my health reasons, as I am, then it’s the activity itself that gives the value and not chasing PBs.

That said all my life and hobbies have been for the intrinsic value of them rather than to show off to friends or with some end goal in mind. Like it tried to learn Spanish for over a year for no reason other than it was a cool thing to try, then when I drop it it didn’t matter as the goal wasn’t to learn Spanish it was to exercise my curiosity.

Thanks.

I guess everybody is different. I’m a natural introvert that excels at extroversion due to my past. So for me it wasn’t the social thing and in fact I had a hard time getting my friends to climb so had to find a climbing group.

What hooked me about climbing is that it’s a rare sport where I lose myself and my mind goes quite. Like nothing other than guitar practice makes my mind shut up so once I found that I was hooked.

I believe it’s a combination of factors really.

Use it or lose it, the body doesn’t waste energy so if you don’t do physical activities then the body doesn’t see the point in making you more energetic but when you do exercise the body is like we need to prep in case this happens again.

Then you have the brain chemicals like endorphins which boost mood and can give you a boost of energy.

There is a line though, which I noticed with my running, that if I kept pushing for faster and faster times I was tired so much due to fatigue. I now run for the intrinsic value of running, I don’t care to get faster and just run for the fun of it and I’m just full of beans now lol

So then you what? Have one radio station in the country? Or do you want to tax more and more to fund all these new stations.

Weird hill to die on and I’m confused honestly.

Yeah I’ve had password too long messages before lol.

Yeah we have BBC in the UK which I assume is the same as NPR (man I hate that I know so may American terms 😂) , but I want a bit of variety as Classic FM plays more popular songs more often and happy to hear ads to support them although the ads are a bit more high brow on classic FM than say Planet Rock.

If you can stream BBC Radio 3 (UK) that’s classical music with no ads.

Yeah this is never getting brute forced but felt dirty not to add them anyway.

My password manager password is about 50-70 characters long. It’s just a phrase that’s easy for me to remember which means nothing and then has some extra numbers and symbols to make it harder.

Wait you won’t even accept ads on the radio?

Like how you expect to fund a radio station without ads?

Yup my too 5 stations to listen to in the UK and it depends on my mood and vibe.

• Classic FM (Classical music)
• BBC Radio 3 (Classical music)
• Planet Rock (Rock and Classic Rock)
• Absolute Rock (Rock and Classic Rock)
• BBC Radio 1 Extra (Rap and Urban)

8-9. Used to be a lot less but I’ve got a good routine now and feel well rested each night.

I’m the opposite of this.

I’m 43 in a few weeks and have more energy and are fitter than ever really.

Climb 2-3 times a week, run 3 times a week and walk a hell of a lot.

Hey a fellow climber. At first I thought how odd but most climbers are nerds and most of Lemmy is nerds so probably loads of climbers on here.

Do you know of any climbing subs on here?

ChatGPT is happy to repeat them. Claude is too but it wanted to push back on Italy as it seemed curious as to my intentions.

Now I’m curious which posters you’re printing.

Yeah it’s crazy isn’t it.
