(I had this post written up on the day of but somehow didn't post it)

so many comments and it's only 8:46 am! I'm going in to work a few hours today, hopefully I can get these navigation lights working so I can go on my training-cation without preoccupying myself with the status of the boat. (I will need to continue on the boat when I get back to work on the 25th)

In other news, it looks as though we're adding a short-film screening of a bitcoin-themed film on Friday October 27th as the (current) opening to our Bitcoin Vortex, a series of Bitcoin events highlighting our greater Miami bitcoin community.

Doing some cleaning and packing, thus cleaning hack of today: you can easily mix baking soda with vinegar or lemon, optionally adding a few drops of essential oils for a nice smell, to clean many places at home.

Simple, natural and well-cleaned.!

Be mindful of the how much vinegar you are using. The scent will linger especially in small spaces. Got a recommendation once to use vinegar to remove salts stains from entrance matting. It somewhat worked but because the entrance matting was located in an air lock vestibule of a building the smell lingered for a couple days after.

21 sats \ 17 replies \ @DarthCoin 16 Sep 2023

Yep. I used to have several "identities", especially separating the online "life" from real physical life, as living man.

I also use 2 identities in real life: public and private. Remember that we have those 2, but few people know how to use them and in which situation - read Living in the private

You can easily create a false identity online named John Barbossa for example and create a false life around it. Use that one in all interactions where you think you could be watched for example, give them false but quite believable story.

Meanwhile live your normal life without being bothered.

Yes, I know some info about my real life I start leak it here, but is OK, is just a transition until I will be ready to reveal more.

ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 1 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens

Got up at 9am and went for a 10min jog to a calisthenics park inside a open-air stadium but noticed it's closed since it belongs to the university. Then took a walk in the local forest and jogged for another 20mins when I noticed I am again being lazy, lol.

Went home, showered and feel good now. Tomorrow, I'll go to the other calisthenics park without any gates.

I shouldn't underestimate how important strength training is. In the past, I focused too much on cardio. I used to go to a gym but I never liked working with machines or bells. Too boring, too many people (which means you may have to wait), you're inside (and not in nature). I only liked the rope exercises. Climbing up a rope or swinging it.

Body weight exercises seem to be much more my style.

Even a 5 minute circuit of strength exercises pay dividends. Trim trails and outside exercise locations are good but don’t let their absence stop you. Press ups, sit ups, squats for 45 secs on- 15 sec rest and repeat. Good job on starting!

Press ups, sit ups, squats for 45 secs on- 15 sec rest and repeat.

That's HIIT training right?

I used to do this 20min workout regularly and it was fun: https://youtu.be/dS4uUM5UfOA?si=9iXmN3Vk-XDMIot7

But I would probably die in the first few minutes now, lol

When I feel better, I will definitely do some HIIT again :) I really like to be competitive with myself so integrating a clock into the workout works well for me.

I also tried to join the sub17 club in the past (5km in less than 17 minutes) but I always hit 19min +-5s

1 sat \ 0 replies \ @carlosfandango 17 Sep 2023

That is a HIIT protocol - but you don’t have to start at ‘super high intensisyy’ just ‘high enough intensity’

5km is a technical as well as physical challenge..

gotta prepare ahead when SHTF.

the ideal scenario is if anything happens again, maybe next "pandemic" or something else, I would know where or who to get the things / help I need, like not just getting food but getting good food directly from which makers; it is a long process to do the testing and filtering ( reliable and honest people are hard to find). But at the same time, I would invest my time in learning more skills myself so that I could help others too.
