Beware of the speed rope crossfitters use. While yes, they make double unders much more likely, they simultaneously have a far greater potential to really hurt you when you inevitably smack yourself with it.

The more important question (to me) is - how do I properly make popcorn with feta and black pepper flavour? It was available in South Africa but seems to be a flavour combination other countries shun.

Just realized that we have a yoga room in the office building and yoga mats for everyone to grab. At least during shitty weather, I’ll start a short yoga routine during lunch. I need to get some of my missing flexibility back.

Just curious: Teladoc as the only solution or as a first step to determine whether you need to see a doctor in person?

Squats you can do easily do at one of the many racks, but cages are limited.

In my gym wanting to bench press trumps basically everything else you could do in a cage. And importantly: everyone agrees.

Central Europe. Supermarkets carry microwave cheese fondue, but no cornbread mix.

Based on style comparison, BBC’s betting on Pence (grammar, sentence length, vocabulary).

Umh. He used to hold US citizenship since 1957 until he was stripped of that in 2003. Making him then stateless. Or is he not American because he was born in a contested part of Eastern Europe that was then Poland, then occupied by Germany and is now part of Ukraine?

As far as I know, quaaludes are still schedule I, so cannot be prescribed and only a very limited amount can be produced for research purposes. And aside from recreational use, I know of no other than the original use as a sedative/sleeping aid.

As you wrote that Swiss hikes are included I had a look. And it’s honestly worse than other hiking apps for Switzerland - no proper description of the hikes, no best season, no how to get there (either public transport or car), no cultural or geological context of what you are encountering etc. I don’t need calorie…

More likely Fest der Schönheit, no?

Eat with with brioche, as intended.
