Going cycling tomorrow for the first time in 18 months. I used to be a decent long distance cyclist until I started working from home and got a puppy. Hoping to do 30 miles tomorrow
Got a tip for us?

My Daughter is on my mind this weekend. Started looking through some old photos and drawings she did when she was little. Been gone now for nearly seven years.
Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Other times it feels like a lifetime ago.
Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Other times it feels like a lifetime ago.
Mulling over some past, life changing decisions. I guess, once the decision was made, I should not look back, but only forward. Well, clearly it is on my mind. I do feel that as I get older, I 'think' more...
Me wonders if Marvel characters will ever end. I reached the point in which hearing the words “new Marvel” causes gag reflexes and attacks of boredom, regardless of the quality of the movie/show.
I feel that one tends to think about the past more when there aren’t that many years ahead of oneself. Most of us have been there, in the looking back mindset. Take it easy and enjoy life as much as possible.
All I can suggest is that you try to be kind to yourself.
The pain of loss never really goes away, but, I suppose, as time goes on, you just learn to cope with it a bit better.
Midnight blue computer gets them sleepy in no time. Talking about tech, even worse.
Indeed they are after they have been with me , I slept with one last night and even the neighbour had a cigarette
It isn’t always on my mind. But whenever it is the pain is as bad as it was back then. Today would be one of those days.
I can imagine; it must be soul-destroying and heart-breaking; the pain never really goes away, it is just that you (or one) can develop coping mechanisms.
And, as you say, it isn't always on your mind; actually, in my experience, the gaps between the times when such loss does dominate your mind do grow, and I suppose that is what people mean when they talk of, or write of, or speak about, the healing quality of time.
Try to be kind to yourself.

The fact that you caused your neighbor to smoke says a lot. Unacceptable. Smoking is bad.
Why?
People have different email addresses as they find the need to do so -- even those who are not working (retired). I like to have a sort of "catchall" email address that I use when registering for a new website/forum or for making purchases through a website. Keeps a lot of email promos and such out of my regular email, which I use for personal interaction with friends and family.
I absolutely love how you can create these weird icloud adresses on various places. Why use private adresses. Way too many stalkers, too much spambots out there.
Like all-these_emails?to-prevent/weirdos @ icloud.com
I also have old .mac.com .me.com etc. emails that are great for certain subjects.
What I do otherwise with work/privately domains/mail I rather don't discuss on anonymous sites in any specific ways, don't serve any purpose for me.
It's not on my mind....to serve ppls curiosity here.

I never, never, ever, ever use a work email for personal stuff. It is the quickest way to get your whole work environment, including all your fellow workers, infected. Many times my work email system (one of the largest networks in the country) got infected because some [insert inappropriate words here...] signed on to a dodgy shopping site using their work email address. Yes, they did have an automatic detection system, but it would take a few seconds to notice and react, and in that time thousands of PCs were compromised.
I have my normal personal email which I use for official and personal correspondence and a couple of others which I use for sites I am unfamiliar with.
I keep my work Mac completely separate from my personal. I don’t browse MR or other stuff on it. The day I leave there is nothing on there I need to delete or remove.
Since it is on my mind. My work and personal data/computer use, is totally separate...
However I never say, “nothing," I'm always thinking about something and don't understand how people can not be thinking about anything at all. But, I do accept now that it is possible.
It can be dangerous to say hi to some people online (of course not speaking of MR here).
Some creepy people think they have some kind of ownership because we cross their path. Even creepier than some of the tv-series characters we discussed in another thread 😬😱
Edit: I move fast though. The general Online life ethics have shifted a lot during the pandemic imho. Not always to worse either. Just some places. Some have increased value and awareness too.
The around the corner coffeeshops etc are much more fun today also. The changing world....

I hate the 'focus stealing' behaviour of some apps when starting up, e.g. Microsoft Teams and the JetBrains apps. I usually launch the apps using Alfred and immediately worked in another window, usually a terminal. The focus will change while I am typing, and if I am unlucky (or lucky) enough, I would end up sending the command to my colleague in a chat. Thankfully I did not use command or alias like rm colleague_name -gtfo.
😳 hello there. I am not robot. What computer do you operate and which keyboard do you like best? 😳
🤣
What's on my mind.... hmmm....
Wondering if I just need to be around more people that don't think there's something wrong with me.
