It's making the cattle ill, some cows are collapsing and dying, do you want us to keep adding Bovaer to the feed Mr Gates? Of course, we need to tackle man made climate change and my money has infiltrated the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), and US FDA so it's been deemed safe to use. image

You can pick up a new Garmin Forerunner 55 watch for about ยฃ120, it's one of their entry level models but will do pretty much everything you need, the GPS syncs okay and there's no need to take your phone out on a run as the run data can be transferred to your Garmin App when you get back. The only thing missing on this model is a metronome to help you keep your cadence but it will give you your average when you are finished, in my case the average was 158spm which is a bit low but I was struggling a bit tbh after sitting on my arse stuffing my face and drinking chemical laced lager over Christmas so the uphill sections had me blowing a bit. Once you get a watch you start getting pissed off if you can't cross a busy road as you're conscious of the timer still ticking while you wait for a gap in the traffic. #runstr ๐Ÿƒ

This is f**ked up! Some will say it doesn't matter because alcohol is poison anyway while others will say it's just cost cutting and a symptom of capitalism and greed, but it starts to look more and more like eugenics to me being orchestrated by sick and twisted creeps like Bill Gates "Let's see how many working class people we can kill off with cancer by putting antifreeze chemicals in Carling" Ale in Medieval times was low-alcohol and nutritious, often called liquid bread and contained protein, vitamins, minerals, and calories from the malt, had no preservatives so was brewed fresh every week or few days. We really do live in a sick society where everything is being poisoned, can you even trust anything sold in supermarkets?

image LA & Miami bros like racing supercars while on their Kawasaki H2Rs or Hayabusas with extended swing arms but these late 80s early 90s 2 strokes still do it for me, these Suzuki RG500s are becoming classics now and going for about ยฃ20k on Ebay. Maybe it's the sound and the smell and as modern vehicles become loaded with more electronic driving aides people will long for the older raw experience.

image Gym bros love to focus on how much someone can benchpress and often quote ridiculous figures for a minimum that an adult male should be able to achieve. At the end of the day you're either naturally a big lump of a dude or you're someone who has trained and built up to bigger weight. I remember watching WSM a few years ago when Mikhail Koklyaev turned up on the Strongman scene and coming from an Olympic weightlifting background had never trained benchpress, he even turned up in his wooden heel weightlifting shoes ๐Ÿ˜. Each to their own and any form of working out is better than sitting on the sofa eating crap but I can't see the appeal of being some meathead wearing a triple ply bench shirt and becoming that immobile you can hardly reach your own ass to wipe it. Most dudes like me probably grew up on Schwarzenegger action movies and Pro Wrestling and always thought bigger muscles were better or having them makes you "hard" but once you grow up you learn that a guy's chances of winning a fight hinge more on how much he's trained to fight vs how big his muscles are. Probably more impressed nowadays with stories of how GSP used to train gymnastics when he was in UFC, Diaz brothers doing triathlons or Goggins being able to run long distances but still maintain enough muscle mass to lift more weight than most people.

image Most people are probably already aware and know all about soft shell and hard shell jackets but if you didn't, these Microlight Alpine Down jackets are useless when in rains. Got absolutely drenched yesterday out on the bike, it was only spitting when I left but it got worse the further I got from home, gloves were soaked, trousers drenched and sticking to my legs, shoes and socks squelching, jacket and tshirt soaked right through - all insulation value gone, surface water spraying off my tyres like a sprinkler, cold, windy, numb fingers and toes, another 26 miles to get home. Got back and struggled to undo a buckle or get my shoes off as my fingers were too numb, unpleasant but not serious, makes you think about people who have got into trouble by gallivanting off ill-prepared on expeditions into the wilderness with the wrong gear and lacking survival skills. I recall watching one of those Mountain Men programmes on Discovery where a guy called Marty would fly solo in a small single propeller aeroplane deep into remote parts of Alaska for trapping, on one episode his old snowmobile brokedown and he had to hike back to his cabin in well below zero conditions, he noted that one of the most dangerous things he could do was get too hot and start sweating, presumably because insulation is trapped air and getting it wet collapses it, wet layers wick away your body heat and the moisture can also freeze. Me trying to undo a buckle with cold hands in above zero conditions is just a small insight into what it would be like for someone hiking in a remote location and falling through thin ice and getting soaked, if they got out and hypothermia started to set in, how long before their hands weren't even functioning properly to try and light a fire or change into dry stuff if they have any?

image 7pm ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ boiled potatoes, boiled egg, can of tuna in tomato & herb sauce and sourdough toast, tea milk no sugar. 9am โ˜• coffee no sugar, drink of water 9:30 -12:30 (no sports watch but under 3hr)17.5 mile jog, don't take anything with me as it's winter, no warm ups or stretching just start off steady. Let' call it 10:10โ€“10:17 mins per mile, checked the average for NY marathon and it's 10:21/mile, Overall (4:31:31), 26 miles. Pleased that I managed to keep moving for 17.5 miles but thought the pace was a bit crap when people can average 10:21/mile for 26 miles - a distance I've never jogged before, Mo Farah is running 4:46 minutes a mile ๐Ÿ˜‚ Just been doing 2 runs a week for about a few months, never really ran before, tried it once in the past and hurt my knees due to poor/no technique - head down, leaning forward from the waist, feet dragging, no butt kick โŒ๐Ÿซฃ #runstr ๐Ÿƒ

Swapped bread for (genuine) sourdough bread but still not consuming too much bread. Drastically reduced the dried/rehydrated fruit raisins, cranberries, figs, trail mix sugar bomb. Swapped cashews for walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds. Didn't realise Honey is actually high when it comes to FODMAP, replaced with Maple Syrup. Upped boiled rice and potatoes that then get cooled in the fridge for at least 24hrs (forms resistant starch) Cold rice can be used sweet or savoury, such as add yoghurt, blueberries, banana, nuts, teaspoon of Ceylon Cinnamon. Or just rice with tuna, meat, eggs. Used to think eggs upset my guts but it was the sugars mixed with the eggs. Chilled potato cubes can be eaten cold/salad or quickly fried in olive oil/butter. Avoiding fatty or processed meat in the evening as prone to waking up the next day with a headache (histamine? nitrates?) Still eat a few biscuits, some cheese, dark chocolate and milk in tea & coffee but if you struggle with your guts - you should definitely look into that FODMAP stuff. image

When you live in the UK and can only arm yourself with a pocket knife with a blade length under 3" and non locking but you're browsing guns and set your heart on a Sig MCX-RATTLER LT with flashlight/laser combo and subsonic hollow-point/expanding loads to avoid collateral damage during home defence. Also on the shopping list, a 'get off me' concealed hammer . 38 special stubby revolver with some +P ammo for extra kick, again hollow point. Hey everyone's got an AR ๐Ÿ˜‚ image

People love to broadcast their physical achievements on social media when they've smashed a pr or they upload their run data but what about their failures? Chose a route today for a steady pace run/jog 17.5 miles, made it about 14 miles and just hit a wall, walked a bit and then tried running again but just had no spring left in my legs even if I tried to force them. Hadn't eaten since 7.30pm the night before and then it was only rice and fish, according to Grok you can train your body to run distance on empty but I guess my muscles just aren't used to it, maybe I still would've flopped even If I was fueled up? No way I could run a full 26 mile marathon yet.

๐Ÿƒ Hardly David Goggins but did a 14 mile run today, could've done more energy wise but my lower back is bad which starts to cause hip tilt and can load the knees after running that long, no chance of bending down when I get back. Between Grok & YouTube it sounds like even people with lower back/disc issues can overcome this by strengthening your core and glutes with bird dog, dead bug, glute raises and some Mckenzie stretches to decompress. Dialling in running technique is an important factor as well, running tall, heel kick, lean from the ankles not the waste etc. Not uncommon to do 40 - 50 miles on the bike ๐Ÿšด but same happens again, too long sat on it and my lower back starts to scream, get home look in the mirror and my hips pelvis look lop sided (hip tilt) Supposedly it's your body's way of trying to protect your disc and nerves by pushing the spine to one side to avoid further aggravation but the imbalance loads up and stresses other stuff like your si joint. image

image Stay humble and stack sats - just not on Avalanche though because Yield Yak will put your BTC.b to work on Silo Finance and take on exposure to xBTC which has just gone bad. BTC.b withdrawals disabled on Yield Yak because they can't retrieve it from Silo Finance.

Would recommend, fresh out the box never worn and jogged 12 miles with no chaffing or blisters, the ยฃ20 a pair socks maybe a bit exuberant but was feeling frivolous. Can't comment on how long there'll last, if they fall apart I'll give some La Sportiva's a try as found their walking trainers really hard wearing.

Free if you don't mind the odd nettle sting and bramble scratch, and they haven't been sprayed with anything unless it's geoengineering related and fallen from the sky.

image People on the Internet will be adamant that weed is totally harmless and stoner culture is cool, maybe it is harmless to people with no history of mental health issues in their family genes? Everyone probably thought this "Pretty Glonky" guy was the most chilled out harmless stoner you could ever meet, I thought the video was funny as well. Turns out his real name is Kyle Andrew Braun and he's currently in prison awaiting a attempted murder trial - the victim his own mother!!! The Police found her with a kitchen knife stuck in her head and Pretty Glonky was the guy who plunged it into her. Was the weed or whatever other drugs he took to blame for his mental health issues or did they just exacerbate them? Who knows? Watched a video clip of Bob Marley the other day talking about "herb" and how it gives you time to think, I was kind of sold tbh at the thought of loafing around in the hills of Jamaica away from all the hustle & bustle surrounded by greenery. IRIE MAN. All i'll say is if someone want to smoke weed they should wait until they're an adult, taking drugs as a kid/teen is bad news while the brain/mind is developing imho.

Small snails seem happy enough, after a bit of research they're most likely hermaphroditic bladder snails and were introduced via aquatic plants from the garden centre, either juvenile snails or eggs hitched a ride on plants to our water planter. As the term hermaphroditic states - they have both male and female reproductive organs and can even self-fertilize so one single snail can start a population but they don't seem to be causing a problem or overpopulating, if anything they're a little clean up crew that eats any algae or dead matter. Seeing one move across the surface of the water while upside down (hanging to the underside of the water surface) is kinda funny.

Anyone else got to the stage where they don't know what to eat anymore and it feels like our digestive systems are under attack from chemical preservatives, additives, modern farming and food production procedures or has my body just got to the stage where it says "nope" I was reading up about bread the other day and how ancient wheat varieties like Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt were more nutrient dense and "had different gluten composition, often considered to be more digestible and less likely to cause gut issues or sensitivities compared to modern wheat" Starting to think my body isn't feeling gluten, usually wake up feeling like crap often with a headache which sometimes clears but other times is full blown and worsens in my forehead and in the back of my neck, started to wonder if it's gluten related and always suspected there was a connection to the gut. Just scrolling through social media and seeing everyone posting food pictures I'm like "nope!" Yeah, could eat it but what would it do when passing through my system, broccoli & tough leafy greens etc high in insoluble fibre yet everyone opines "eat your greens" Kinda drives you mad though when it all seems hit & miss and often without rhyme nor reason, if only it was a simple as avoid XY & Z foods The state of my lower back and what possible effects that's having on my nervous and digestive system is a whole other can of worms.
