Most sports shops these days sell them, I’d advise going for a softer foam to begin with if you havent done it before. You can also use things like tennis balls or just massaging with your hands is going to help improve the situation if you are not doing any of that kind of work.

Probe around with your thumbs or put pressure on different muscles and try to find the places where it is hurting and the muscles feel twisted and that is the area you want to concentrate on.

For me with knee pain it is where my quad comes in to meet the knee on the inside of the leg that causes me all of my issues but that won’t necessarily be the same for you.

Foam roll! Most knee pain in my experience is from tight / twisted muscles in the upper leg. Just make it a habit to foam roll every single day.

Another vote for checking out hybrid callisthenics. They also have a website with a basic routine including instructions and links to videos explaining all of the progressions for each movement that is free to use and a great resource for people who are new and need some direction.

Oh shit, I have used CoMaps since its release, although that is only once every three months or so, but I never realised I could edit with it!

I’m gonna have to go check it out!

I have been playing Persona 5 Royal, I am around 30 hours in and I’m really enjoying it. I have played 3 and 4 before and I’m thinking that next time I have an itch for something like this I might go back and try 2: Innocent Sin at some point in the future.

Is there a good adaptation of a game?

I haven’t but will check it out, thanks for the recommendation. I also didn’t know that about the MRI scans.

I will feed them at any opportunity and always have fresh water in my garden available for them (and the other birds).

Pigeons.

We domesticated them and then just discarded them once they were no longer “useful” to us. Now people see them as “sky rats” and are generally pretty shit towards them.

I think they are one of the best birds!

Good news for you, soulseek is still the best place to pirate music outside of private trackers so at least you will be familiar with what is going on!

If you want to pay then I suggest bandcamp.

In terms of discovery I follow certain tags on bandcamp which can help but the problem with that is the artists do not accurately tag their music at all and so therefore you inevitably get things that don’t fall under that tag at all

Happy cake day dude!

I have done the first 4 books of The Dresden Files now. It is alright and the last book, the summer knight was better than those preceding it but generally not sure how I feel about it so far.

It isn’t bad and I will continue on a few more books to see how it goes. I like the ideas and setting but I really don’t like any of the characters to be honest, particularly Dresden and his excessively ethical approach to everything even to his own detriment is pretty fucking tiring to be honest. Also if I hear the word fuego one more time I might break things…

So to have a break from Dresden I have been listening to He Who Fights Monsters. It is another litrpg book and so far it is like Solo Levelling and Dungeon Crawler Carl had a child with a bit of Beware of Chicken sprinkled in. It isn’t bad so far but as it is right now all of the aforementioned books do what they do a lot better. I’ll see how I feel at the end of this first book but I think it could go either way.

The Silo show isn’t really following the books at all any more.

The sections in the past are closer to what was happening in the second book but the stuff in the future at this point is them going off on their own, so I don’t know that you’ll feel any more informed by reading again :D

Great album you are listening to.

I feel the same way as well, I will always listen to albums / EPs and very rarely a playlist of random songs mashed together. In general I don’t really care for playlists at all.

Quite often there will be one song on an album I will skip though, usually the wanky ballad on a metal album for example, and I’m OK with that. But if an album has one or two great songs and the rest is shite I just won’t ever listen to those “great” songs really either.

I want the whole listening experience, not just a list of songs from all different artists.

I’m on android but I also get this issue from time to time. Usually a refresh solves it for me though, at least for a while.

Just returning here as I made a small break through on this issue for my own bike this weekend.

Have you checked the length if your chain?

I have had new chains since my ownership but always copied the size i had there already, from when it was built by the place I got it from. Stupid me presumed they would know what they were doing (yes I know, foolish) and just kept copying their size.

Anyway this weekend I used a calculator to get the size I should be at and then counted my links and I had been running 2 links longer this whole time.

Took out two links and reset the position of the derailleur and it is instantly better than I have ever had it shifting before.

I have only done 20km so far and it needs some fine tuning but I’m think this may have been my issue the whole time. Two links!

Check your length my friend :D

Are you sure you had acid? Was it bitter to taste and or make your tongue numb? If so you may have had nbome instead which was sold a lot as acid for a while.

The one time I had it it felt like the world was more some kind of film noir / vhs feeling downscaled version if itself and it had a more jittery nervous feel to it compared to acid.

Acid without fail always makes the world seem brighter and more colourful today. On small amounts it is just like you are having a really good, happy day. You don’t trip out or get any visuals as such but everything does seem a bit brighter and more vibrant and helps lend to that happy day feel.

Taking more and more increases these feelings for me as the dose gets higher you are more likely to zone out and see different visuals from trails, to patterns to anything really. Your eyes makes things out of the shapes it is seeing.

You can get into some heavy thought patterns but generally myself I’m very resiliant to falling into those traps for whatever reason so have never spiralled like I have seen some other people do.

Bear in mind as well even if you have real acid a tab isnt a measurement of dose. You can get tabs that are 20 micro grammes that are for micro dosing and you’d bare feel or 1000 micro grammes which is going to be a wild ride.

My favourite amounts are between 130 to 260 micro grammes

I really want to use gadgetbridge but with my watch it just stops syncing after 2 - 6 activities and gets stuck in a loop of trying resulting in me having to basically reset everything and start again :(

Soulseek is the best place for music outside of private trackers imo

I haven’t but it is on my list of things to try out as it sounds really interesting.

I feel like I may be going exactly the same way as you. I’m around half way through book 4 at this point and I’m already kind of feeling a bit bored of the same issues. It doesn’t help that thus far the characters range from bearable - Dresden who really is boring as fuck, I don’t dislike him but don’t particularly like him either. All the way to oh would you fuck off - Murphy, that bitch is just fucking annoying and any scene with her in I am hoping she just fucking dies already…

I’m gonna check this out tomorrow as your description sounds interesting. I have been watching Erenshor as a single player MMO experience but havent actually tried it yet. You may want to have a look at that if you havent hears of it :)
