I have cables that are 15 years old and still work. Not USB-C obviously, but A-A and A-B, but also some USB-C cables that are close to 10 years old now and came bundled with some OnePlus phone (the 3 I think?).

The key to not breaking cables is to not roll them up tightly. If you need to transport them, put them very loosely into a bag or something, and everything should be fine.

I'm using the cheapest 2m long cables I could find online, they don't fail if treated correctly.

Then I'd suggest you reduce the weight until you find something you're comfortable with, and slowly build up from there. You don't need to use the same weight for every single exercise.

To build general strength in your thighs, it's best not to do repetitive motions as well but to hold certain positions longer and longer.

Look up the Warrior 1 yoga pose for example, it's basically a low lunge with your arms raised straight up. Do that as a warm-up (hold for 5, 8, 10 seconds increasingly) and build up your thigh muscles.

So how many sets do you manage?

Sounds amazing. I work from home and manage my time as I see fit, working hours range from 2-12 depending on current load, so I'm totally on board with maximizing free time if I get my stuff sorted efficiently.

Guess if I cut it further, I would try to get more into gardening.

Never bothered with the app to begin with, the mobile website works just fine.

That's exactly what will happen, since we have laws in Germany against leaving homes unoccupied (with severe fines), so if the landlord can't find a tenant willing to pay the extortionate rate, they have to lower the rate closer to market or risk paying triple of what they might be missing out on otherwise.

Private mode has all trackers disabled, so they might be able to trace the IP to my router, but not to a specific device (assuming you have random hardware ID activated). With kagi it's traced to a specific account regardless.

And while I'm running a VPN by default, kagi will still be able to identify me, so that's an absolute no-go.

I guess there might be some monks that stray into haram territory, but yeah following the doctrine properly, they sure aren't allowed to.

Love Sichuan food, though it fucks up my stomach regularly... And yeah we got crazy drinkers here as well, but if I say no then it's a hard no and they understand I don't budge, so that's that. I can't handle the taste of baijiu at all, had to drink years ago with some business partners, and ever since my first proper baijiu vomit session, I'm done and over with that stuff.

Opposite for me by the way, I'vebeen living in China all through covid since late 2017, and we only just left to Malaysia last August. So I've been in the village a bunch of times, though usually we'd celebrate CNY where the family actually lives, trips to the village are only for special occasions. In the future we'll probably still come annually, but not necessarily for CNY when everybody is crazy, roads blocked and shit twice as expensive as regular.

He's too vital to hope for a biological solution anytime soon.

There's 6% wanting to leave Denmark, but that's not necessarily joining the US. There has been a minor independence movement, but never really got traction.

Another 9% polled as "undecided".

I'm using kagi on and off, but haven't reached the point where I'm confident that paid search is the answer. Especially since that ties results to accounts even in privat mode, so they can claim no log policies as much as they want, I don't trust it.

DDG doesn't deliver the same quality as google, bing is garbage for anything but porn, and Yandex works surprisingly well, but whether I want my data in Russia is another story. In private mode I use it occasionally.

Yep, it's the only instance where they might, but even then it's no guarantee. Closing the bases would be awesome for anyone but landlords in the areas who are charging extortionate rates to base personal rather than offering affordable housing to locals.
