Buy quality footwear for what you need. Years ago I was required to buy leather boots with only stitching, no glue adhesive. There were these newer boots that came out that did use glue for the soles but were safe for fire use. One of the guys in my crew bought these. He also dressed kinda like jersey shore cast so you get the idea. Anyways after several days in the job of fighting fire his boots started to peel at the sole. Somehow he was able to get a standard set of boots but point is that you will never regret putting quality into your shoes especially if they protect your feet.

For me I have a binary allocation for things I need to do and avoid. I use this for health and training. They’re set to get me towards primary goals. Main strategy is more in the POSITIVE and less in the NEGATIVE. this changes based on your day, needs but easy question is if the item/practice/choice is an advantage or disadvantage. As you stack your positives, advantages you develop resilience to things in the Negative /disadvantage bin.

Here’s why you program out training: Bc you’re making the best use of your time. Your goal depends on what you do from where you’re at. Something may be better than nothing yes, but your time matters so make your sessions matter. Why they matter is up to you. This may vary by session and how you feel that day. Hence the need for a system over a rigid “this normie did this and that”. The body changes so you’ll need to be smarter than the miles and weights. This is what I’ve found useful after the last 15 years.

They want you to give up. They want you to stay down for the last time. They want you to depend on them. Do not give up. Your bloodline, past and present, needs you. Plant the tree whose shade you won’t get. If it gets hard reach out. We win together, decentralized.

I was not homeschooled. But I am suspicious and nearly anti credentials when it comes to teachers plugging those. The requirement for teachers to possess more advanced degrees in public schools is so dumb. Especially when the school district outcomes seem to be lessening.

You will gain from what you do consistently. This goes for good and bad. Some is better than none. But consistency beats anything else. A star program done half ass loses to a basic program done with fervor and intent.

If you’re in northern latitudes check and see if your area has UVB this time of year. You need to get out into the UVA and UVB for melanin and vitamin D especially if you’re tethered to a screen most of the day. This of course is in addition to welcoming the sun first thing. Don’t forget - the cold helps you too. Being cold for your quantum biology’s health is very anti fiat.

For five minutes- Spider-Man pushups (go a few reps shy of failure) into Back bridge (go about 3/4 of max time to failure) Rest as needed but be minimal.

Bitcoin doesn’t need war or governments for it to function. It probably thrives without them. Thats why I’m not attached to stocks. I don’t need continual war to boost my General Dynamics or Raytheon holdings. Makes you feel ill when people say their defence stocks are doing well. It gets old when war hawks are back and circling and have no family or physical skin in the game. Bitcoin is how we build a better world, I think. Maybe it won’t rid war but we can have less of it.

Finished a digital internship course and here’s my summary for KPI lifts. I’ve spent a lot of time doing certain exercises bc they were ‘golden’ but I do think these will change overtime.

Train to at least get you thru the tough times. A hard break gives you time to reshape your status.

Chase performance and physique will come in time. Physique may not be magazine or insta - like, but it will be what’s best for your body given what you’re after.

With the Bitcoin / Epstein nonsense aside… is there a verified org or fund to help the victims? Seems the spin up on Bitcoin and the other people seems to overshadow the people who were trafficked, harmed and worse. Never been a fan of the death penalty but will reconsider it. there must be consequences.
