Back is absolutely cooked (physio said it feels like concrete). He alao said that today and tomorrow will be agony for me.

Trying home remedies and some heat

Enjoying the Foundation TV series (Jared Harris is such a great actor)

Hope everyone is having a peaceful Saturday

You gotta take it easy when choking kids out for lunch money at BJJ bro.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck them kids. They know the rules of the mat

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this made me spit beer on my keyboard, lol thanks

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not the Oettinger!!!

I'm having a Monsuta without spitting

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hahah there's just over half a carton in the fridge, besides, essence of beer in the keyboard makes my den smell authentic lol

I’m having a Monsuta without spitting Impressive! Though they're not so bad if you have already had a few (but true for most beers lol)

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The worst European beers are still on par with most Aussie ones

And the best beer out there is the one that you like anyway 😁

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, love an oettinger; i can be poor but still have my homelands product. and it all tastes better than VB so we're all winning

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Du bist Deutscher? Wunderbar!!

I'm not (well...kind of but not really) but have a deep appreciation for the country

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Half-german, half aussie. can read german well, but speaking and writing is shithouse I may as well be a smol babi

I was actually looking to get a citizenship at some point, but I'd have to give up my aussie one (there's more to why that is, but I dont want to dox myself more than once tonight lol)

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Dual citizenships are handy.

I'm hoping for a third but would be difficult.

I have Family that's from Germany and eastern Europe but not sure its enough to get a passport.

Fisiocrem.... As mentioned earlier. I have ongoing back, neck and shoulder issues on account of thinking I could do things in trees that I could in fact not do. It's consistently my jam for flare ups.

[–] Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would it work for feet? Mine ache so badly after a day of walking through uneven parkland

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I would imagine it would.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I applied some earlier actually.

And got my back taped up too.

This happens every few months, so I know how to manage it. Just part of getting old

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just part of getting old

Totally. My last big neck flare up was on account of me twisting whilst doing my teeth for godsakes....

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hahaha...that's a laugh of understanding and sympathy.

There's weeks that I can train for hours and keep up with athletic blokes half my age.

Then there's weeks like this one where the slightest movement results in agony and debilitation

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My current favourite is the random injury pain somewhere when just taking a breath. Good times.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I flared up my siatica once, just getting out of bed.

4 moths of recovery that was.

Yay!!

[–] jezbeenz@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Oh god, I got tickled once and was out for weeks 😅

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Any good? I just finished silo and was a bit let down. Tempted to try foundation now there’s 2 seasons.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not bad. I'm 2 eps in.

Slow burn, kind of like The Expanse in a way.

Helps if you've read the books as there's not a heap of exposition.

I'm digging it.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You had me at like the expanse!

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jared Harris was in both 😊

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s right! He was Dawes wasn’t he? Loved him in Chernobyl too.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

He was Dawes and the main dude in Chernobyl.

Also Moriarty in the Rituchie Sherlock movies

Old mate gets around

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been getting through Mad Men and Jared Harris is delightful. I really couldn't believe he was that dude in The Expanse (who will always remain weirdly South African in my mind)

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Anderson Dawes was the name and yeah had total Afrikaner vibes in the expanse

Can't say what a Belter accent would be, but I'm going with his
