Yeah this is a “you can’t put the genie back in the bottle” situation. They keep telling themselves that the UB sets are selling well so they keep doing more. The problem is that they’ve alienated a lot of the long time/passionate fan base and I’m not convinced the people buying the marvel sets are going to stick around. Short term profit above all else.
I have no multiple copies, I've stopped collecting physical books and almost exclusively use my e- reader. Storing books is so space consuming I just can't justify it anymore. The only hardcopies I own at this point are gifts from other people that I held on to for that reason.
Man this book was hard for me. I feel like it motivated me to read so much more so that I can go back in 10 years and maybe understand the allusions/references.
I think I'm going to pick up a casio. I generally want mechanical but you have to respct the functionality and durability at this price point. The other ~cheapish watch I'm debating is the moonswatch mission to pluto, doesn't have the same history as the F91 and the value proposition is worse but I like the look.
Thanks - love having a home gym. I delude myself I’m saving money not paying for the gym membership but realistically the pay back period is still 5-10 years out.
Squats are primarily a leg/quad exercise but they are irritate my back injury so I’m glad I’m able to get back to them. Squats definitely require back strength even if that isn’t the primary purpose. The classic all around posterior chain/lower back exercise is the deadlift but hyperextensions/good mornings and other variations all are good too.
I think that has been the problem in the past. Worried about losing strength so jumping back in before I'm ready and re-injuring - rinse and repeat.
I like the tempo work idea, increase intensity without increasing absolute weight/strain. I am doing Romanians and am also focusing on unilateral work with Bulgarians/lunges to try and improve stability.
Have you read Anathem by Neal Stephenson? It’s got great world building and is pretty weird sci-fi but definitely not “horror” in any sense of the word so may not be exactly what you’re looking for. Fun read though.
Clean rep, nice job

You ever do reverse hypers? Some people swear by them, I've never tried it.

Thanks I’ll look through it
2049 was great - hope this continues the trend.

Hated hated hated this book. Not to discourage others from reading it, just seconding the sentiment that it's a book few people finish.
Struggling through the Adventures and Misdaventures of Maqroll - what a drag, feel like I'm reading the same episode over and over again.
